Mine is 514 Red. The SPID calls it Light Red, but I have also heard it referred to as Medium Red. Probably depends on which plant built the truck and typed up the SPID. It was the only red available for the chevys since Flame Red was a GMC only color. It does lean toward orange, but I like it because your truck can be red or orange depending on the time of day or the weather. I usually describe it as tomato soup red. Can you post a picture of your truck?
