ive searched here, but would like to see photos of velvet red and coral red.

thanks.

Velvet appears to be deeper, similar to Arena. Coral is lighter.

Velvet Red


Coral Red

I think Joey has them the wrong way round...pretty sure Velvet Red is the second pic (the lighter colour)

Default Velvet red...........and not

Mine is definately velvet red, arena red is slightly darker again.
I think Coral Red is the lightest, then raspberry(?), velvet red, arena red and amethyst. Throw in a Guards red in there too.

The Coral Red is very similar to the Zanzibar Red (GT3 Press Release colour 1999).
Coral Red is a rare colour - They only made 1 964 RS in that colour for Hong Kong market
