Needed: "Safety" Orange Acrylic Paint

Hi all,

I'm trying to find source for a color of paint that is plentiful for non-modeling uses, but impossible [for me anyway] to find as an air-brush compatible acrylic: Safety Orange. My preferred paint manufacturer, Tamiya, only sells one shade of orange in its 'X' series of paints and it is way too yellowish; I tried blending in some red to achieve the desired color, but that made it way too dark.

I've tried looking for it in some other popular brands like Modelflex, Vallejo and Microlux, but I'm only seeing it sold in sets of 7 or more different colors. Does anybody sell individual jars of specific colors? I really don't want to pay for half a dozen other paint colors that I don't need.

The attached image shows a swatch of the color I'm trying to get; any guidance will be greatly appreciated!
