I agree that Dave's AHH is a fantastic color. If I remember correctly, that frameset was ordered with custom painting to be "burnt orange" and there was some error/misunderstanding that led to the frame being painted a color the buyer didn't want so RBW had another frame painted and Dave snagged this one. I believe it was a Grant blug post and I believe he referred to the color as "root beer-like". Looks good, whatever they call it.
