1955 GM color called Gypsy Red. Code 595. Looks kinda orange in bright sun but the red in it stands out in the shade.

My truck used to be Ford red called electric current red. It was too dark though. Thats the first pic. Now that its back under construction, I went with Chrysler inferno red crystal pearl, can't remember the paint code, but I am way happier with it. Good luck picking a color.

This truck (top 2) is supposed to be GM crimson red and frost white, but it doesn't
look like it has enough orange in it to be crimson red.
The bottom pic is a member's truck (hope he doesn't mind) that is crimson red.
