Default Which engine orange?

Went to Summit to get chevy engine orange and found chevy engine orange as well as chevy engine red-orange. Both were Duplicolor brand I think. Which is correct for 1970 L-46 small block?

You might think about Quanta. A 30 year special award Bloomington Survivor Judge and former NCRS Regional Chief Judge had me paint my '69 L36 with it. Just sayin, because I myself am no expert and really don't know what is the most correct. Everybody has their opinion. I used Duplicolor when the engine was in the car and it is a bit different.
