Mopar/Cummins Color
What is the color of Mopar/Dodge/Cummins? I know GM has "Chevrolet Orange" and Ford obviously has "Ford Blue" but what about Mopar?
There is "Hemi Orange" and a pretty common Mopar color that you see in print is that light, almost Ford Blue color. I think it's called "Petty Blue" possibly? I'm not looking for the most popular body color, Mopar has had plenty of wild colors, but I'm looking for the color that best represents Mopar like the colors for Ford and GM I mentioned above.
Cummins has the light brown color, but I've seen more and more red Cummins motors. The fire department I work for has almost all Cummins powered trucks and they are all a bright red color.
Any ideas?

That's known as "corporate blue".
Cummins started painting the engines red with the ISX. Now they are calling the ISX the ISX15 and the M11/ISM they are now calling the ISX11. Some later N14's, the heads were painted red, I think they were higher-horse motors than the monochrome ones.
Petty blue was actually a result of not having enough blue to paint the car, and finding some white in the shed, and mixing the two together to get the car painted. I think the code for it was b5 or b7, when they picked it up as a factory color.
