Plenty of info for a dispo broadcast call (BOLO, etc.) in LEO terms.
Who cares what the "exact" color is at this point? Having something like "a dark colored Infiniti Q50 sedan" (for example) is a lot more to go on than nothing at all...
Red is not dark but shows up as black in the absence of light, and so does orange and some yellow.

If it's red it's not a dark colored sedan.

So what are we looking for?

Any of the millions of red or dark colored sedans running around?

Useless.

No law enforcement would look at that and find any use in it whatsoever.
