Need help with color code for 72

I've searched the interweb and I cannot find the color code for my Bronco. It is a light mustard-yellow. (It has been repainted at some point, but it is the original color.)
This Wrangler commercial has a brief glimpse of a Bronco in my color.
Any help appreciated.

Could be Chrome Yellow (paint code G). My 72 is Prairie Yellow (paint code K) which seems a little darker

Well you're a good person to answer that question I see Tim! Which color is yours?
And wasn't there a third "tan" color for '72 that they used with Explorers? Seems like I remember a third. Might not have been exclusive to the Explorer of course, but that's usually where the color pops up in discussions.

To see the colors he mentions Jason, there is a thread hearabouts called "Master Color Thread" or something along those lines.
You'd think after referencing it for the last 10 years or more I would remember what it's called though!

Someone will have a link for you if you can't find it with a google search.

Tim, mine seems to look like your color (Prairie Yellow) based on pictures in your garage. My 72, like yours, is also a Sport/Explorer. But it also could be "Carmel Bronze Poly" based on the link that DirkDonk posted.
Fairly certain it is not Chrome Yellow. Thanks for the help. Now to find a seller with touch-up paint by code.
(I need to renew my Contributor status so I can post a pic)

Jason72Bronco - Which color code is on the Data Plate on the Glove Box door?

Ordering a Marti Report for your Bronco will help confirm paint and other options too.

I think my 72 sport is about the same color. The color code is X for mine. Might be a Durango Tan, special edition color for that year (I think).

I forgot to add that mine is an Explorer model as well.
