Why would you link his older videos? Also most of the time linus won't answer you directly but you can be helpfully assisted by the people who don't know what that orange is.

I'm not sure I understand, do you know of a newer one of his videos with that paint color in it?

I do not but it seems like the orange that is used in newer videos is lighter than that one. What do you need the orange for?

It's probably the orange LMG/LTT use in their logo. Take one of their logo's and open it up in something like PhotoShop & use the colour picker to find out the hexcode & then you should be able to work back from there.

Painting my walls, orange is a very finiky color. Getting just the right shade of orange is difficult. Too dark, or too light, or too yellow, or too white. The one in the video looks perfect. All I need is the pantone color code, or the SW color code.

You would think, but rgb doesn't translate directly to wall paint. All that path does, is narrow down the options. I still don't know the answer between like 4 different shades of Orange. Only Pantone or SW color codes translate directly between wall paints.

I honestly would not know that. I would go to a paint shop and look at samples. You can even make a fake wall from an old board or something where you can test oranges to see if you like them.

And that is my battle plan, but its a really terrible battle plan. Especially cause the Linus team knows what color they painted that wall, so just need someone from that team to state the color. Any suggestions on a different media to get their attention?

Probably the best thing you can do right now is to tag a mod or someone on staff thought they might not answer or reply
