Default Any Substitutes for Apricot Yellow, Tequila Sunrise?

Are there any "readily available" 104 substitutes for the now gone Yellow Apricot or Tequila Sunrise? Does any company make anything similar?

Take some similar colors and mix them up loosely. Maybe creamsicle, another lighter coral, maybe banana or lemon meringue...

Wale has Moretti/Effetre Yellow Apricot (picked some up Friday). Is that not the same color?

No, I called them a couple of weeks ago hoping it was the "yellow" version but it's the new "orange" version...they're just calling it the same name.

As for mixing glass...I was just hoping there was one or two colors that would be a good replacement so it's consistent. Mixing is kind of hit or miss with me.

I have a mango coral (no "sunny" in the name) and it has less yellow tones than Tequila Sunrise.
