I Google’d it and it looks like it is the same color as on the 2019 C7 Z06.
There is a 2019 C7 Z06 official Sebring Orange 418c forum thread with many photos.

Looks great! I’m not usually a fan of orange but that color is beautiful. I’m sure even better in person. Is the cowl painted a dark graphite or black? I can’t tell with your one pic.

I’m also curious about your case/ring/pinion setup. Is it the stock 10-bolt mated up to the Detroit speed axles etc?

Very nice car!
