Default Any real world Carmine Red photos?
I am considering my own build and have seen threads for some of the exterior colors (chalk, GB etc) but not Carmine Red. Any one out there have photos (not configurator) of a Carmine Red out in the world?

Would love to see them (as well as what the interior is like)

Also open to opinions on the CR. Looks amazing on the screen but is not cheap and is it......too much?

Thanks

It’s a really sharp color in my opinion. I had a carmine red Panamera with shiny black 21 inch wheels as a loaner for a week. Got lots of attention.

I think when people go for red they go for guards by default.

I liked it until I saw it beside guards red. It looked cherry to me, and not worth the $3k.

Was going to get this red, but the wife reminded we have the prettiest red already: Mazda’s soul red crystal!

The pictures on this BAT auction really sold me on Carmine:

I also agree that soul red crystal on the Miata is gorgeous.
