Ok I know there is V2, and I have heard of special paint code 999 for Omaha Orange, but have only seen on a Road Runner. Did Daytonas have any other oranges than V2? This one appears to be painted Omaha type orange, but in the description it says it's Hemi Orange. I've always seen V2 as reddish orange, not like EK2 orange for 1970. It's about half way down the page: http://www.rmauctions.com/AuctionResults...TOKEN=46408677#

That looks correct to me. V2 is a true orange. No reddish to it. R4 is an orangie red. Also with red and orange the light plays a major roll in how the color looks in a picture. This is R4

I painted my 69 bee Vitaman C orange, thinking it was available on Dodge cars in 1969 (I thought this was the code 99 found on my Dodge color charts). After the work was done, I was told no Super Bees were actually painted this color. Nevertheless, here it is:
*1969 383 4sp. Super Bee *1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT *1965 Porsche 356C *2004 VW Passat Wagon *2004 Mini Cooper S *1967 Jaguar E-Type FHC

And is the official name in 69 "Hemi Orange" for the Dodge line up?
Yes, the '69 factory documents make specific reference to "V2 Hemi Orange".
There are at least two known Daytonas with paint code 99 99, commonly referred to as Omaha Orange. Both of these cars, strangely enough, were ordered from the same dealership in Georgia.
There's also at least one '69 Charger 500 painted Omaha Orange too, and I think it's a 4-speed Hemicar too. That one I don't have any fender tag information or a VIN.
