International Safety Orange?
Well, that's what the color on this C5 looked like, although I'm sure it has another name. What vintage would this color selection indicate? It was old enough to have 
wagon wheels. If this is a sticky I missed it, sorry. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

I think it must have been a repaint...
I do not recall an orange factory color option throughout the C5 model
1998 had rpo code 58U Aztec Gold, but that is the closest to orange that I know of...

Could not have been a factory color as there was no orange C5 made. Hard to tell what it was unless you just ask the guy.

Didn't think I'd seen or heard of it before. Come to think of it, the paint quality was far too good to be a factory job after a few years in our climate. No orange peel, great gloss, clean shiny emblems, etc.
