YES. Carmind red was the darker red from the earier C5 years. Mag Red I and Mag Red II came later.

GM only made that color(lite carmine red met.) for 2 years 97-98. A friend of mine has a mag red II coupe, we put them side by side and the color is VERY different.
There is more gold metallic in the mag II.
But I still like my 98 carmine red coupe and its faster.
