I'm having difficulty picking a color though. I could swear from seeing them in person while driving around there are two variations of red. One nice bright red, and another darker red. I think the darker red is Barcelona Red. The dealer only tells me there has always only been one red. Am I going nuts or is/was there two colors of red? I live in Oregon so I know it wouldn't be an country variation thing. -Thanks Last edited by oregonmike; 06-02-2008 at 09:04 PM. |

Barcelona Red Metallic (left) Salsa Red Pearl (right)  Another shot at equal levels  Barcelona Red is the current red paint option that is available. Salsa Red was only for 2004-2005 I believe.

Hmmm... Do they have variation on the same color line? |

There should be no variation but sunlight and viewing angle differences might account for the color shift. See how dark mine looks in the first pic? Now look at it in bright sunlight and with a fresh coat of polish. It changes the color a bit. Sorry for all the pics of my car. I'm not trying to be pretentious here, just have these examples close at hand for posting. In the shade  In bright light  | |
