Pacific Fruit Express book by Thompson, Church, and Jones, Second Edition, Page 117, states:
'"The color was virtually identical SP's Daylight Orange (Pantone 152C).  The SP Passenger Department was hardly the source of the color, however; this was seven years prior to the introduction of the red/orange scheme on the Daylight trains."
On abother note, I've built 38 Intermountain PFE steel sided ice bunker kits, and after trying various oranges, discovered Floquil's Daylight Orange to be an excellent match when needed.
