Looks like Scarlet Red and Medium Silver. Ill look for the paint codes.

Pretty sure "Scarlet Red" is the 2D paint code.
Not sure about the silver.

Those are two different reds, and one middle stripe is grey while the other is tan.
Which do you want?
Top truck is Scarlet Red and Medium Silver,
Bottom truck is (i believe) Cabernet Red and Light Chestnut.

My past trucks which I still have paint codes from if either are of interest.

Codes JL BA


Codes EG WM


In this last pic, if you can see it, the tan on the bed is "pink"er as the bed is off of a 97 and my truck was a 98. The red was the same color so I just painted the tan on the bed.
