79 Omega body tag decode help

Hi all, So been trying to figure out the original color on this poor car I know it was a dark red but not certain the actually code and body the decoders I have tried are no help. I managed to clean a few layers of paint off the tag to be able to write it down but camera will not focus enough. So info is as follows..

79 3XB27 W 083702
74R A32 -77 77
118 3 . R. . L 0778

Not sure if that will make sense to anyone it does not say pint or body to the right it says the normal Body by Fisher at the top then that info below nothing more on the tag. Despite upgrading to a V8 once body work is done I want to get the car back to original as much as possible the rims were rattle canned black so no help for color there. Any help is much appreciated thanks in advance

The 77 77 is the paint code. The first number is the lower body color, the second is the upper. Since both are the same, your car is one color, not two tone. Paint code 77 is Carmine Poly.
