RS Ormorod PLA colour?

I want to order some PLA in the same colour as the RS Ormorod but I'm not sure if it's red or orange. I mean, to my eyes, it looks somewhere between the two. Can anyone point me in the right direction (hopefully not towards RS and their high-priced filament). TIA.

I bought some of Fluorescent Red the other day expecting it to be a nice vibrant red, turns out its almost the exact same off-red/orange as the original Limited Edition RS Ormerod Parts.

Ah, thanks, looks very similar. Of course it doesn't look as elegant as blue! smiling smiley

Thanks Radian,

I'm now thinking of reprinting the parts again in a different colour, not chosen yet, but with all the experience in printing and the quality of my prints improving all the time I'll definitely be doing the next set at 0.1mm layer height.
