What "factory" color is this die cast '71 Road Runner model?

Tawny Gold (Y9) was the factory color of my '72 SSP project car, but I never saw it that color (except for the engine bay and trunk floor). It was painted blue when I found it.

I don't see "tawny gold" available in '71 but I do see Y4 "light gold", Y8 "gold", Y9 "dark gold". I wonder if Y9 in '71 and '72 are the same color only with a different name?
 
GY9 was the original color of my '71 Charger. Nice color when new but, in my experience, doesn't age well. Mind wound up looking greenish. I did one repaint in GY9 but eventually did a color change.
 
Looks like T8 Tahitian Walnut Metallic or K6 Autumn Bronze Metallic to me.

By the way I have that model it is extremely nice!
 
That would be tawny gold. The color of my SSP and that which I have.
