What colour orange is a good match to the tank on the shuttles?
The Space Shuttle External Tanks vary in color from a Rust color to a light tan. Look at some pictures of a particular stack, then choose the color you think best approximates it.

I’d say.

Tamiya 'Hull Red' is a good start, lightened with a bit of white....then weathered heavily...

I used a mixture of Pollyscale Southern Pacific Daylight Orange & Rust(approx. 50/50) with a few drops of white added for an ET I'm working on.
So far this is just the base coat. I still have to add some shading and other details but I think the color looks close.
Thanks for the help and the pictures. The tank is definitely more rust than orange. I hope my tank looks as good as yours when I'm done. Hard to believe that the shuttle era is over.
