I was wondering to myself why is it almost always cloudy when these RM cars are out in public.

Best photo of Red Mist Tintcoat Metallic yet. I hope it's even 'redder' on overcast days when those metallic flakes can take a break! Thanks for posting. My order is finalized tomorrow. It's still between Red Mist and Black.

Absolutely gorgeous! Good call to replace the LBR. Not that it's a bad color but this will appeal to many more people. I think it will pull some of the Torch Red customers it's way along with many others. Still like my Rapid Blue but I would certainly consider this.

OMG...Red Mist in full sunlight!!! This is rare sighting, just like trying to finding the elusive Clorox wipes canisters in stores. J/K I was beginning to believe this color was cursed because of so little photos of this color in full sun. Nice job on the photos!

FYI, my favorite colors are Night Race Blue, Long Beach Red, and Black Rose.... (I'm even warming up to Zeus Bronze, but could never actually pull the trigger on that one).... you'd have to poke my eyes out to buy Torch Red.... so you know where I'm coming from... this is a very nice red.... probably the best of the current colors.... have to see it in person, though... I'm not up to bat until next year anyway, so we'll see what the color selections look like for 2022...

Color looks nice but it clashes with those wheels... Copper was the first thing I saw too before scrolling down to see that a lot of other people saw the same thing. Edge red calipers ?
