Not a Schwinn guy, but their heavyweight fillet braised bikes always had the coolest colors. The Root Beer, your Orange, banana yellow, the powder blue...was there a lime-Kelly green maybe...? Was there a deep blue metallic?
Ross always seemed to play it conservative (a la Fuji) with the metallic blues, silvers, subdued reds it seems.
