I like the color more than guards, but not on a car. Guards, while more tomato, just flows with all the other color shades on the car.

Lol....despite the fact that you're sadly wrong.....that's why Baskin Robbins makes 31 different flavors.

So why does Baskin Robins have 31 flavors? So people like you can sit there and laugh at others because they chose the 30 flavors that you deem "wrong".

The OP asked for opinions and he's simply stating his. Good for him.

I guess it's fair to assume 1959 is your DOB since that would be the only reasonable explanation for not recognizing something being said "tongue in cheek".
Also, FYI...it's Baskin Robbins and that's a fact not an opinion.

Carmine is lipstick red, as my wife says. GR has an orange tint in certain light, and can almost be confused with lava orange! Carmine is a great red, along with Arena Red.

And Lava orange can be confused with Salmon. Which will never be a flavor at Baskin Robinz

IMO Carmine with black wheels and black int is the best color combo on a new Porsche

I call it Hooker Lipstick Red. I have a Carmine GTS and the color is just stunning, no matter what the lighting may be, but it definitely is a chameleon. I agree with the post above, the interior and the wheels need to be black. 3 fairly accurate representations of Carmine, although as someone said it is difficult to capture the beauty of the color on a camera, you need to see it in person:

I would say Guards Red is a pure naivety colour, honest without affectation, like a youthful person, a moral character of the 90s, timeless like the spring, while Carmine Red is sophisticated, complex, difficult, a little bit narcissistic, thinking about itself how the others look at it more elegant, cult and rich than any other colour, and so, the type of guy of the first half of XXI century, a guy which I don't like at all! Cheers

So after attempting to translate this, I guess CR is a gen z hipster color?
