candy colors

whats really interesting is that, the offical honda book of all the motorcycles it made shows the CL77scrambler 305 sell date 1965-1968 framecl77-100001-,list all colors silver/blue,silver/red,silver/black. Under remarks it says Fuel tank,side covers& fenders are silver.Frame,upper forks& fork legs are unit color .Headlight shell is unit color . There is no mention as to any color of orange,or burnt orange, or candy orange.I think this is what makes no sence. I have had people tell me that the dealer must have painted it but we all know that is not true.The honda book ,the offical honda book , i am taking this from is on page 128. thank you

Ya have either the Red Book (1988) or the Black/White book (1998).
It is the White book (2000) which has the info for the Candy Color bikes.
Sometimes we assume that what we have in hand will never change over time. .......lm
