Ruby Red vs Carmon Red Matallic
 

My 83 Sc is ready for paint for it's first respray. Ruby Red with burgundy interior. Ruby Red seems on the brown side. Looking for a cranberry/red tint burgundy. Any ideas? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1169184278.jpg

Ruby Red is pretty much a burgundy when paint is fresh...here is a pic of mine:

The Garnet Red that came right after Ruby was much browner.

The newer Arena Red is more burgundy and a bit more bright...you might want to do a search under that color...very nice.

1962 Ruby Red. Same formula for shroud.

Here's Arena Red, but lighting and other factors may not lend to it's actual color.
