Pick a really different color from all the different ones Schwinn used on their '60-'70s fillet brazed bikes and go to town! I like your creativity! Reminds me of my efforts to give "Sporty" a second life. This is not the best picture, but the latest one. Schwinn never sold a fillet brazed Super Sport in a version of red. But now I have one!
That's a nice job. I admit that the candy green looks a lot like a stock Schwinn color, but the orange doesn't look anything like "Radiant Coppertone". Coppertone was more brown than orange. The candy orange I'm thinking about is more of a bright, stab-you-in-the-eye shade of orange. I already have a blue bike, and another that's dark metallic green and silver. The only other color I'm considering is candy purple.

Here is the source of trick auto paints that I'm going to use.
