Torch Red Owners - Help

Anyone buy touch up paint for the '05?

I nicked my lower RR quarter panel with the exhaust pipe of my ZZR... Actually gouge may be a better description...
Went to the dealer to get some "Torch Red" touch up paint - Code "D3" on my original paperwork. All he could find is "Colorado Red" - same code, "D3"... Ford Part Number PM*19500*7042A.

Is this correct? Anyone know why he can't find any reference to "Torch Red"?

YES...

IT is the SAME paint.

Ford did "That" with several colors.

The orginal name for Torch Red is Colorado Red and the correct cod is D3.

They just didn't want to call it "Colorado Red" on a Mustang.. Torch Red sounded cool so they went with it.
