Default [Pics] Crystal Red vs Magnetic Red vs Monterey Red + SUNSHINE at Kerbeck!!!

Now, we can really make a comparison!

Magnetic Red next to Crystal Red next to Monterey Red...


A couple shots at a different angle...




Crystal Red next to Monterey Red...


Magnetic Red next to Crystal Red...


So, now what does everyone think?

I don't know which is which. Is Crystal Red the one on the right?

I think I'll stick with the fastest one, which is BLACK.

Red Shading (at least from this angle, using this picture) It confirms my other observations of metallic reds used on the C6.

Magnetic Red = Lighter
Crystal Red = Dark
Monterrey Red = Darker

Meh, Just another boring dark red... IMHO.

If I had to choose I'd take Magnetic. It, at least, doesn't look washed out.

I like Mag Red by far the best, but Crystal is second. MR is too dark for me (personal preference though). I ordered Crystal red, and I'm sure it will be fine. Wish they still had Mag Red though.

I've always been a big fan of Magnetic Red, but I also know that GM rarely ever brings back old colors so soon after discontinuing them, so Crystal Red is the next best thing for me!

I have seen Monterey Red in the bright sun and it really comes alive but to me it's just too dull on cloudy days. I think Crystal Red is a step in the right direction! Me likey!

Thanks Dave, great pics, though I'm still a firm believe that you haven't really seen ANY of these colors until you see them in person. There's too much color flop due to the metallic content of the paint to get a true feel. There are times my Monterey can look like any of the 3 colors shown in those pics.

I would choose the Crystal Red...oh, that's right, I already did. CR Coupe, Z51, A6, 3LT, NAV, NPP TPW 08/06. I bet you can't tell I'm excited.

Dave, thanks for the effort to bring us the pictures!!

Dave,

can you please pull the crystal out and take some pics of the full side with new wheels - all pics on this board are either non prepped cars, cloudy, etc.
