POLL: Are these Welly "orange" model 02s Colorado, or Inka?

Just curious for those of you who have bought one of these off me or gotten one elsewhere, in your opinion (after seeing one in person), are they closer to Inka or Colorado???  When I first saw them I thought they were closer to Colorado, but someone else said they are closer to Inka.  Of course computer screens all vary to some degree (not to mention camera settings, lighting, etc.), so I'm asking those who have one or has seen them in person.  Ideally you've also seen an actual 02 in Colorado and/or Inka as well!  Just curious as my (actual) '02 was Chamo and I am not familiar with an in-person Inka or Colorado "look", if that makes sense.

P.s. Yes I have more... see the parts for sale section. :)

That is closer to Colorado, imho.

The package is Mintgrun, or pretty darned close to it.

     DISCLAIMER -- I now disagree with much of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book as timing maps for our engines.  I've also switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results.  I apologize for spreading misinformation.

Have to agree with the above--definitely Colorado.  Inka has much more red in it than Colorado.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
