Hemi Orange is not orange. Way too red. Vitamin C is better but still too dark. Omaha Orange is orange. And beautiful. Kinda like 2015 Challenger Header Orange.

compare them at a paint shop that has color chips. LOL !! 3/4" square chips and poor lighting ... not much better than looking at them on a computer screen. Monitor's color accuracy Lighting of photo and/or viewing area Accuracy of the car's color to correct formula Variances within the color or application itself Yup, that's the dilemma. And car show season is pretty much done !!

Coated the tubes and took them outside

Color is a matter if personal preference. Of the colors you listed I would use Header Orange because it's newer and I feel the guy in the paint store might not give you that deer-in-the-headlights look when you asked for it.
