I believe a pure white and metallic red where a color option for that year. The white is non-metallic if memory serves and owned one back in the late 80's So its a bit "hazy". 
Good luck with the restores we need pics.

Good luck with the restores we need pics.
The colours were listed as cherry red and cold white with gold lining for 1972.
I don't see Astral red or Olympic Flame...
What can I say 
I like to call it refrigerator white Rocky As I recall it was a non metallic white, but with a high gloss. THe red was metallic though which actually gave a very nice look I remember.

My info is taken from the J.R. Nelson book, "Triumph Tiger 100/Daytona."
Only Cherry red and cold white are listed as clours in 1972 for both the T100R and T100C.
In 1973 the colours were listed as ice-white and Hi-Fi vermillion with black lining for the U.S. Market. The UK and export models were gold and astral blue with black lining.
In 1971 the colours were Olympic flame and black with white lining. The T100R had a black waist stripe while the T100C was solid Olympic flame on the gas tank.
I can find no orange and cream colours.

I didn't think Orange was a Classic Triumph color...
That's not a 1972 factory paint scheme or colours. The 1972 tanks did not have that white scallop (or any colour scallop), but rather the top of the tank was painted cherry red with the frontal area under the tank badge in cold white running back along the bottom of the tank.
I should have scanned a picture before I started this reply, but will do it now and reply later.
What are the colours in the picture I posted? Any idea? It looks like Orange to me and I have seen a contemporary advert that is this colour. However, my colour vision is not brilliant and so maybe some people would call this red. I have absolutely no idea what vermillion is!
I am glad I asked this as (a) I don't absolutely love the colour and (b) I want some thing original.

Oh, there's no doubt about it being orange! Your eyes aren't deceiving you
Vermillion is a bright red.
This is a B & W picture from the Nelson book along with a shot I took of a bike at a bike show.
This is just to show you the paint scheme and roughly what the colours look like.

Good link. Thanks.
That really looks great
It may be a computer / monitor thing, but that 'Olympic Flame" as shown in post #16 is far too red. I have a mate with a 69 T120 Olympic Flame (unrestored) original tank and it's more orange than that photo.
But more important is what YOU, the owner wants, pleasing to you, or originality.

Spot on and well stated.
