If you are talking about the new 1:10 kit, it is that new that they have not posted the manual yet.
Kit needs to hit the market before we can take a look at the manual to see which paint is used.

The red/orange car you have seen pictures of is from the 1:24 static model kit.
RC version will come with pre painted body in white, unless you buy a spare body later on.
As with most Tamiya releases, the kit will probably hit the market first, later there will be spare body released a bit later.

The gloss and metallic orange shades appear closest to the stock McLaren Senna color from reference images.
Tamiya's spray lacquer paints provide vibrant, durable finishes and are commonly used for plastic model kits. Using light coats and proper prep, they can give an accurate, clean orange finish.
If an exact color match is needed, it may be best to contact Tamiya customer support directly and inquire if they can confirm the specific paint used on that particular McLaren Senna kit version.
Providing the kit model number and release date may help them lookup the exact paint color recommendation. But hopefully those three Tamiya spray codes give you a good starting point to match the signature McLaren orange!

There is 3 choises when it comes to Orange in PS range.
PS7 Orange is the same as used on Jëgermaister Capri.
PS61 Metallic Orange
PS62 Pure Orange.

The static kit only says orange as body color of the two recomended.
So it is up to you as customer to figure out what color is the closest to the real thing.

On this link you can see two bodies painted in PS7 and PS62 to compare yourself.
