Hey all, I've been hunting for quite some time for a nice orange ray 4H and as luck would have it, I've stumbled on three different finish versions.. now I just need some thoughts as to which one fills the 'orange' box more in terms of a finish that pops, hopefully from ballers who either own or have owned any of these (or all of them.. you know who you are, obsessives :p hehe)

So I have a choice of Tangerine Pearl, Lava Pearl or Autumn Red Rise

I admit the autumn one is more 'cherry burst' than straight orange, but it is pretty sparkly.. and kinda orange lol
My main issue is detecting the difference between lava and tangerine.. to my eyes the tangerine seems more 'flat', and almost 'peach' coloured depending on the lighting I guess.

So yeah, short of EB making a "Jupiter Sunrise" PDN orange finish to mach the Neptune Blue, I'm stuck with these options, I'm also aware my OCD is not helping this in any way lol

Just throw me your opinions.. good or bad hehe

Simon :)

In all honesty, tangerine pearl comes the closest to what I consider to be orange. Tangerine pearl will shift from tangerine to a slightly yellowish-orange depending on how the light hits it whereas I tend to see lava pearl as a very reddish-orange.
