Side by Side Burnt Orange FK3 Deep Burnt Orange FK5 Vitamin C EK2

[Zell]

Hi FEBO -
I bought 1 quart of Vitamin C (EK2) Burnt Orange (FK3) and Deep Burnt Orange (FK5). Here they are side by side as I have seen lots of questions on the difference (and I also wondered the difference myself and wanted to see). These are each single stage paints, according to the 1970 paint chip and mixed by AutoColor Library (the division of TCPGlobal that makes manufacturer paints).

For anyone looking to see the difference side by side from the different 1970 orange paints, I hope this helps.

Both are striking colors. I have always liked the FK5 better though.

I also experimented with the Firemist Orange - it's not an original color but I actually prefer it over both. Highly recommend.
