There were two "red" in 1994; torch red (70) and dark red metalic (75). There is no chance of confusing the two. The paint code will be on the RPO label under your console lid.

Look at the bottom line on the Service Parts Identifer sticker that's under the console lid.

There will be a code that starts with "WA" and some numbers after it. That code is what auto paint supplier use to mix the proper red color.

The paint RPO code in the list of RPO's will be 70 or possibly 70U for Torch Red. The color name is Torch Red and that code was used for 93-96 cars. The red for 1985 through 92 cars was called Bright Red and the code was 81U. The 84 cars had a number of different codes for red paint.
