Looks like their idea of what a red color is is totally different than what it should be. If unhappy, see about a return.

Its GMs new Accelerate Red ..
Just like the yellow it only looks that color at a 30 degree angle during a sunset... with partial clouds ... and it has to be the fluffy white ones.. not rain clouds...

Just another very good example of how bad the visualizer is with color. It made my Torch Red look like Red Mist - which it seems to have done with the OP's car cover.

SL1 LPO, Premium indoor car cover, Red with Stingray logo, Genuine Corvette Accessory
WKR LPO, Premium indoor car cover, Yellow, fully rendered C8.R, Genuine Corvette Accessory
WL0 NEW! LPO, Premium indoor car cover, Gray, fully rendered C8.R, Genuine Corvette Accessory

I'm not sure if the 'outdoor', the 'fully rendered' or the 'access panel' covers are the stretchy material that allows you to pull it down over the High Wing. I would say you'd be safe for sure with the RWH LPO, or the SL1 LPO.

Yikes! I’m glad you posted some real life pics of the factory cover.
I love my red cover so far and made a review here :
Been living with it now and the dust transfer through has been pretty minimal in my environment.

Contacted Chris in the parts department @ MacMulkin he looked at the other two he had in stock and they were the same shade of orange. I asked if I could swap mine for the black indoor cover, he agreed and is shipping it tomorrow along with a UPS return label.
Another example of MacMuklin’s #1 customer service.
My thanks to everyone who provided replies/input.

Well, closer to "red" than about any other color... at least primary. Lack of access panels, is simply either false advertising, or bait and switch. If you don't like it complain to GM?
