C3 Orange Options 74-76?

Can anyone please tell me or direct me to a list of Corvette orange color options between 1974-1976?

Was there ever one called Candyam?

No.
74 Corvette orange code 80
75 and 76 Orange Flame code 70

FWIW: exterior color is not technically an option; it's a buyer's choice.

Thank you, much appreciated.
Where is the paint code located on the car?

On the driver's hinge post when the door is open.

Here's a helpful site with various codes found on the car.

Vettefacts does a fair job summarizing the production details, including total numbers of individual options.

Both available colors are nice solid (not metallic) orange shades. The '75-76 Orange Flame color has a bit more red in it and is more colorful, IMO. But, I like '70-71 Ontario Orange metallic (FireMist) paint much better. Good luck with your selection.
