If you find a color that is close to factory or even a custom paint please share the information here!. I know lots of people will appreciate it. The Yamaha paint codes from 55 years ago are of no use today. If you take the paint codes to a paint shop they will scratch thier head as the code was only used by Yamaha.

1975 Yamaha DT 250B Portuguese Orange. Below is an amazing 1975 DT 250 painted by Mark C. The paint used was Chevrolet Orange. It is almost a dead ringer match. Several companies sell "Chevrolet Orange". it comes down to personnel preference for which brand.
Thank you for sharing Mark Campbell.

Thank you Littlemilo for sharing. Brilliant Red is used on the following models: 1970 DT1C 250, 1970 DT1CM 250, 1971 At1MX 125, 1971 AT1C 125, & 1972 CT2 175, 1974 Yamaha GT80A. All paints were stock items at the local O'Reilly auto parts. The red, called anodized red, has to go over the special base paint to look right.
