Really you feel the need to make a comment about photo skills and the horrible pictures? Really? They were taken with a cell phone on a dealer's lot! Not meant to be studio pictures meant for publication. Having a bad day? Just sayin'

My C7 is torch red, but I would have to go with Red Mist between those two colors if I were getting a C8.

Torch red roof that never got used against my Avery Carmine red wrap...

I like the Red Mist color better, but really want red seats, and not so sure that goes with the Red Mist...so I'll probably be ordered Torch with red seats. Probably.

If I were going with a red, I'd go with Red Mist. Just my choice.

Red Mist with Natural seats= Magnum PI car.

I want the above combo, but to me the Natural seats look too....yellow. Is it just me?

That’s what I was thinking, but some people apparently think Ferrari only has one red and it’s called “Ferrari Red.” And that they want it on a Chevy.

That is what sits in my garage as I am out of town for a while. RED MIST HTC 3LT with yellow stitching, seat belts and calipers. Carbon flash roof, nacels, rocker panels, boomerangs, spoiler and wheels. IT is a Beaut.

Can't wait to get back home and add to its 46 miles on the odometer. Basically picked it up and had to leave town.

Then you haven't actually seen Ferrari Red. Nothing like the tangerine color Chevy calls red.

I think the comment is legit when it fails to show what Red Mist actually looks like. If you want people to compare the 2 colors, give them photos that show the colors realistically. Based on those pictures, I'd say RM is terrible, But haven't seen it in person, I know better.

True, but I don't think any of them are orange.

Red Mist for me as well. I have seen torch red on many, many C5's and C6's and agree with others that it has too much orange.

Hey, is that a factory stripe? If so what color did you use? My car will look very close to yours. I’m just trying to figure out the stripe color.

Looks Maroon to me. Other than the C8 they are the hardest car to sell due to the color. I like it very much with the HTC top having the black contrast top. What I think is crucial is what's inside that matters. I saw a Red Mist with light bright blue interior with red seat belts and silver wheels. I notice a gentle man drive up to mine all nice and LT1 all yellow with all red interior. Each is own. Guy in Florida had is wrapped in chrome?

It’s very commonly compared to Soul Red which Mazda has no trouble selling.
