It's not quite right as the Faran graphics are more of a copper colour but the Hope orange has toned down a bit with age so matches a bit better ; originally had looked at Chris King as one of their colours was a closer match but couldn't justify the price increase over Hope and also annoyingly missed out on Hopes Bronze that was unavailable when I got the frame.
It’s always impossible to cross match exact shades (Of Anodising) across Brands of colours. I should know from trying on numerous BMX’s. Some colours bring worse than others.
Add that into different production years, batches, manufacturers etc. And also then add in trying to match rubber and plastic parts to those metal parts - it’s an OCD nightmare if you let it be…..
To be fair though - even some (Most ?) expensive Factory fresh bikes exhibit those traits. I should still say yours look great !
