Paint color 68 Hurst olds

Hello Olds family,
Does anyone know what red was used on the engines in the 68 hurst olds? Trying to find/use the color closest to original.

The same color red as all the 455's that year.

Would you happen to have a paint code #? I am not familiar with that color for 68? Thank you for your response.

It looks suspiciously like Buick engine red of which I have a lot of experience with.

Duh!! I should of thought of checking them, I am not a fan of their bronze for the 68 400 but I am sure their red should be good. Thank you Ralph..

Red is not a complex color. Its been used on Fords, Farmall tractors, Internatonal Harvester and countless other things including Buicks.
