I never thought of looking at the logo (headslap!). Thanks. Ista's link to the wiki provides #EA6D6A which seems pretty close. However, when I see #FF6600, it really looks correct though the difference seems minor, at least on the screen.
Looks like Wiki may be slightly off so I'll have to cross-check using your approach. I was willing to settle for basic reds and blues, etc but the orange was really bugging me. The Wiki was interesting: I had never heard of some of those parties; I did wipe a tear away when I saw the Rhinoceros Party listed. It was a sad day when we lost it.
