It's called Lava Orange. This PDF file has a small sample of it at the end.

I don't know how acurate this is, but using a color sample from the PFD that Genom provided and just a few minutes in PS (as in I know there's some bad spots still), I came up with this.

Thats surprisingly close WHealy!. I saw a 3 at my dealer the other day in the color and thats pretty darn accurate! Not quite as dark looking in the flesh, but just imagine a bit better lighting :D

WHealy - Nice work! Lava Orange looks kinda good IMO! Somewhat suprised that Mazda did put that color in the original pallet for the 8. Every auto manufacturer seems too have some version of that color right now. Unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to look at it, that color may only have a short shelf life though.
