GR, like every single color Porsche offers OTHER than White & Black needs to be seen in: person, in the sunlight, in the shade, in overcast, in fluorescent lighting. That is, if you care about color that much, which I do.
GR has a lot of orange in it. You have to take photographs with external light for it to look "red".
By contrast, Carmine in most pictures has a very deep red look to it. In person, it has hints of blue & purple.
Then again, Lava Orange photographs infinitely better than it does look in person. Just like some people
If you want "red", you need PTS Ferrari Red like Calexio stated. PTS should be available soon on the configurator with all colors to choose from.

GR has a slight orange hue but it still is a very good red. Just do not put it next to CR because you will really see the orange hue to it. I have owned both and like them both

I could not believe how orangey the GR red looked. It lack depth compared to the more deeper red of CR. That's probably why Porsche charges an extra $4200 for the CR and nothing for GR.

Guards red is like the girl in Bangkok.. looks red, but underneath, in the right light.. you are horrified to know it's just lava orange with a red dress on. (Same same but.....)

I prefer GR over CR for this reason, as well the brightness of GR, and so I'm getting GR on my .2 GT3.
Saving money is a bonus, but not the reason I choose GR. Porsche doesn't charge for guards red because it's an historic Porsche color they've offered free for decades, just like black, white, and racing yellow.
If I were to pay extra for a red color, it would be "absolute red", the Ferrari red that Alexio mentioned, but that's PTS, and PTS is unlikely to happen for my allocation.

I can provide pretty reasonable screenshots of cars that are available for AC in any of those colors. Or I can give you the "skin" and you can use it in the game's car viewer yourself. Just ask if you need to see how a specific color looks.

FWIW, I have a wide variety of Porsche, BMW, and Ferrari colors that I "mixed" according to the real-world recipes and use in the Assetto Corsa game. Also spent too much time with the digital representation (metallic paints require a thick statistics book, ugh).

I somewhat doubt that these different angle captures came from the same camera.
