Old post but this is the subject I was looking for in an attempt to match Bitcoin Orange to an auto paint color.

Hex color #F7931A is consistently listed in many places but I have notice different Pantone colors.
Is Pantone 1495 C the consensus?

So far, the best auto paint matches I've found are:
Valspar 2011-1 - Orange Fruit (98.5% match to Pantone 1495C)
Valspar V012-3 - Darling Clementine (99% match to HEX#F7931A or RGB 247,147,26)
Sherwin Williams 6894 - Forceful Orange (98.4% match to HEX#F7931A or RGB 247,147,26)
(using https://qconv.com/en for matching)

Any input on your experience with Bitcoin color matching welcome.
Thank you.

The paint shops systems allow you to match equivalent between brands but not from RGB.

To get an accurate color paint I compared every Brand/Collor pallet available at the paint shop vs those at at easyrgb.com

I then searched the 5-6 matching brand for the closest color match.

I endup choosing Benjamin moore equivalent of SHERWIN WILLIAMS SW 6894 FORCEFUL ORANGE
(This one was also very close : SIKKENS COLOUR COLLECTION 3031 Match = E4.60.60)

So 3 layer of Benjamin Moore Aura
