EV2 is one of the canonical 1970 Chrysler high-impact colors. Per Dodge Garage's retrospective on the program, Dodge marketed it as HEMI Orange (capitalized) and Plymouth as TorRed (one word, no hyphen). Same paint formulation, two divisional marketing words. Production span 1969–1972, with 1973 being the last B-body appearance in tiny volumes.
