It's not uncommon. There are many instances where Guards Red has been mistaken for Lava Orange and vice versa. GR is an orangish red and LO is a reddish orange.
I have GR T, I personally don’t see orange in the paint maybe I need better lighting.

It comes out in the sunlight, disappears in the shade. It is quite noticeable when GR is juxtaposed with Carmine in daylight. There have been numerous threads on RL mentioning or discussing the orange hue of GR (as well as the red hue of LO). With that said, everyone's eyes are different. It's not a bad or good thing, just a reason why GR and LO are sometimes confused, especially on the internet where interpreting photos accurately can be tricky.

Regardless of what color hues I see, GR is one of my favorite colors of the 911.
Thought PTS lava orange lol. Probably just the camera. I have guards red so should usually recognize my own color.
Of course. It was not intended as a judgement of any kind. All good and clear.
No, no…not taken as such. As a percentage it’s not a bad addition. The configurator is a slippery slop, as we all know. The more you want the more we delete after we see our summary pricing. I would have paid up for the stitching which I think adds so much to monochromatic interior, red specifically, just didn’t think the two available slate or green were my cup of tea as they say across the pond. 😁
My interior on my last car was a thing of beauty with deviated stitching to beat the band but unfortunately those days of under $100k are over. 🤑

It was my original color choice as well, GR. I couldn’t see it easily but my wife picked up on it right away, the orange undertone. Ended up with my second choice, GT Silver. My preference would be Carmine if I went with red but then again at a quick glance it was negligible to my eye until it was pointed out. 🚘
