Default Help with a color...

I'm looking to replace my tank cover and front beak (currently black) on my 2007 R12GS with the dark yellow/orange that I've seen but I can't find the name of the factory color. It's not Desert Yellow - it's darker and has more red in it than Desert Yellow. Anyone?

Try " Namibia Orange", the color only came out on the 1200 GS in 2008. That was the color of my '08 GS. I was actualy thinking of changing my red '09 GSA to this color also, but I would have to do something with the seat!
My friend at the dealer gived me this sample of it! I think The N13 on the back of the sample is the color, not sure! Hope this helps!

I think it's the Mandarin. What matters though is what color yellow/orange I can get from the factory that fits a 2007 model. That may be just the Desert Yellow.
Do you know for sure, Marc?

If this is the color you're looking for it's Mandarin Orange, my buddies 2001 1150 GS.
