Check the knowledge base page. I believe someone posted the paint codes there

The orange is supposed to be persian 2, and the white is "cream". For touch ups or small areas, the rustoleum almond is pretty close. I used that on my 210 when I rattle can painted the pressed wheels I put on it. Covers good being a primer/paint in one. I personally like Corporate orange and cream together, so my tractors have been shot in corp orange.

Tremclad used to have a color called "raspberry".
  I've used it and it was very good.
  Can't find it here anymore...

I used to use Rustoleum Redwood for painting the injectors from Maroon tractors and it was pretty close. I tried finding it this summer when I swapped the injectors in my nicely painted 7040, and it would seem it's no longer offered, I did grab a can of Burgundy, and used it, but it is definitely more red. I cannot believe with all those colors available, that there isn't a simple Maroon. I'd used red primer but we got a pretty good gloss on the tractor lol!
