Default 2016 C7 colors

I have a 2013 Crystal Red GS coupe. Considering 2016 Z51 coupe. The problem is Crystal Red is not available in 2016. I have not been able to see a Long Beach red on a car. I heard that that color may be called a different name for different GM models. If this is so does anybody know what the names are so I can see the color at a dealer.

This was posted recently but I think there are other GM cars that use it too:

The 2015 Buick Enclave has the same paint for example, they call it a different name though.

•Exterior color (G1E) Crimson Red Tintcoat (additional charge - premium paint)

My LBR shows up this or next week here in AZ. Come on by and we can both see the color for the first time! I hear it's a bit darker than Crystal. If it's anything close to my Mag Red C5 I'll be happy enough.

2015 GM Vehicles with 405Y paint:

Acadia, Cruze, Enclave, Traverse and Verano

I haven't been able to locate the 2016 GM Color Compatibility Guide to find 2016 GM vehicles with the color.

Do you remember the Monterey Red that was used on the C6? Long Beach Red is very close to it.
