Thank you.
I think that it could be Daytona gelb or Signal yellow or Bright yellow (5, 6E, M5080A code) or Highway yellow... Or maybe Chrome yellow (G code)
Need pictures with cars not only samples.

So I decided to make the samples of yellow colors that could be used in 70-s and then decide.
If I'm not mistaken here they are:
1. Daytona gelb or Daytona yellow
2. Signal yellow
3. Bright yellow (5, 6E, M5080A code)
4. Highway yellow
5. Chrome yellow (G code)

Could you help me with the codes of these colors?

Some code updates:
1. Daytona gelb or Daytona yellow (Dupont - 31514LH)
2. Signal yellow (Dupont - 43796LH, 43796DH)
3. Bright yellow (Ford code - M5080A; Dupont - 5374L, 5374A, 5374D; Ditzler PPG - 2414; 5; 6E)
4. Highway yellow. I'm not sure but maybe Ditzler PPG - 81531?
5. Chrome yellow (G code; Ford code - M1526; Dupont - 4357A, 95923, 4357LH)

Could you help me with the photos of Thansits with these colors?

It seems to be Signal yellow.
So I will repaint my bus in Signal yellow with white roof.
