Thanks! I get mixed responses on it. I think its a love it or hate it color scheme.

I looked at my VIN tag and found it is a paint code of QR. I believe this is still the original paint so it should match.

From what I can tell researching online:

Q: Parrot Orange, Ford Code=M5403
R: Sequoia Brown, Ford Code=M5186

This is assuming the information from the website I referenced is correct.
