Ooo ooo - I know - it's Orange !!! Or, if you're artistically inclined you could call it Apricot...
Pretty sure it'd be a custom mix....looks VERY close to Pantone 172 C... http://www.boyantonprinting.com/pantoneswatchbook.pdf
(I deal with print and photo colours rather than paint colours, but Pantone is pretty universal)

Wouldn't you paint before you fit out especially the interior as the roof lining has to be removed due to all the windows and rubber being
removed?
any photos of your project?
