That picture is from the local crew here in the Seattle area. Post in the Pacific NW regional forum and I am sure you will get an answer. I think there is a 'tour' this afternoon, so you may not get answers until tomorrow.

I would be joining them if my lawn was not looking like a jungle.....wives can be picky about these things....

yeah, that looks like coral red

edit: Looking at the mirrors, I'm guessing that's a '93 model. No coral red that year, which, after further review, has a more orange'ish tint than this color. Well, unless my monitor's off. Anyway, I'm making the call...it's Raspberry Red Metallic, code A7 (or 83E on Paintscratch.com).

That is the recently acquired coral red '92 of Scott (Scooter '92) in Seattle. It is definitely a '92, hence his user name, w/ updated mirrors and wheels. A great-looking car!

So would I look for a 92 color chart to get this color?

Someone said it looked more orange in person. How much more orange?

It's not that it "looks more orange in person". . .rather that it can really pick-up the surrounding light & colors. IMO

and maybe rdans screen isn't showing the pict's color quite right. (?)

From '92, Korallen Red Metallic Clearcoat 82H/G7

My take after driving with Scott for an afternoon is in bright light it is very orange. I would never call the color red but Porsche did.

Whew, my car already looks orange enough. I wanted to move away from that.

I'll call my supplier and see if I can get that code.
