Orange Vette?
Was there ever a stock Orange C4?

I am still trying to figure out if I like it or not. I do have to admit that it really stands out when you see it "Live"

In my pix it looked yellow, but I'll take your word for it that it is orange.

I think that 1977 was the last year for Orange as a color. Orange color first appeared in 1970 as "Monaco Orange" although there were some meatllics in bronze that were close to an orange tint.
The 94 Copper Metallic color has an orange-type tint to it but there were production problems with that color and it was dropped after 116 cars were painted in that color.
