You will need to do all three orange numbers, and then you'll always get people saying; "that can't be right". Wink  I only have the PPG numbers you may need to get good paint samples and have them scanned for the RGB numbers.

Somewhere in 1929 to somewhere in 1960
Allis Chalmers Persian Orange (Persian #1, so called)----60080

Somewhere in 1960 to somewhere in 1977
Allis Chalmers Persian Orange #2,----60396

Somewhere in 1977 to the end in 1985
Allis Chalmers Orange-----60691

You can use MS Paint on your computer to get the colour off any photo or text

The column heading on here are RGB (R255 G132 B0)  but that is just one. If you are using a program that uses Hex then it will convert RGB to Hex, usually, to get the number you require.
 
I would suggest you use a photo you are happy with for colour.

Found this for you, don't know if it will help or not?

Persian Orange
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_orange#Persian_orange

Persian orange is a color used in pottery and Persian carpets in Iran.  The first recorded use of Persian orange as a color name in English was in 1892.[16]

Orange pudding (milk added to pureed oranges that is mixed in a blender with flour and slowly boiled on a stovetop) is colored Persian orange, assuming no food coloring is added. Allis-Chalmers tractors have been colored Persian orange since 1928 so that, even when caked with dirt, they could still be distinguished from landscape features.[17]
