CP Air "Orange is Beautiful"

I have been looking for information on the actual colour numbers for the orange and red used on this CP Air livery. I have not yet heard back from some CP Air alumni or the ad agency that did the "Orange is Beautiful" campaign for them. I have been offered by a flight sim painter gentleman (his best guess): orange - C:0 M:78 Y:89 K:0 and red - C:19 M:100 Y:100 K:10 . Anyone have some other research or experience with this livery?

Regards,
John

CP Air site

Hi John. Yes, I had looked through that site and found the flight sim contact there, though I could not find any other colour specifics. I appreciate your response.

Regards,
John

They had a copy of a ticket........... bet that's pretty darn close to the colors..........

If I ever get around to make a 737-200 those colors would look good on it.

Orange

C:000 M:468 Y:917 K:012

Red
R:252 G:78 B:15

I found that depending on the printer, you may have to do some color adjustments. I sure look forward to a release of any CP Air aircraft.

Thanks,
Gary

Look up plastic model decals as well
One company in Canada I think is called "leading edge decals"
They may have it with specified colors on their instruction sheet
