red mist c8 color

I am looking at ordering the new color on the c8 red mist metallic. I was told by a dealer the color has a hint of orange in it. Not sue if this is hear say or true. I was hoping for more of a candy apple red color not orange. Has anyone been able to confirm the color?

If you perhaps closely observe some of the newer red cars around your area, you may see a shade of orange in the red mist. Which I believe will be a nice color. That's what I have ordered without seeing the real color.

Cool color, bad name. Red mist is not a good term in racing.

If it's as good as the 'shopped image then that's what I'm ordering.

I thought the Indy pace car they showed during qualifying might be that color. I will watch closely for Friday practise and then the race this weekend.

Camero has a new red color for 2021 called Wild Cherry Tintcoat. I'm betting its the same color. 2021 Camero will probably be out before the 2021 Vette so may get a chance to see one in person.

At the Cadillac dealer last week, I noticed a new 2021 CT5-V in a bright shiny red/orange that looked real close if not the same to this new corvette color.

I am hoping for something close to Mazda red. I have seen several of these around lately and it is beautiful.

Mazda's Soul Red is one of the most stunning colors on the road today.

I bought this exact vehicle a couple months ago. Several people asked me what I did to make it so 'shiny'. I tell them wash, clay, wash and All in one (AIO) Klasse. Most just say....'oh', and continue on their way. It IS an amazing color in bright sun.
