<Quote> i havn't heard the color candy apple red since it was used in the 60's. <EndQuote>

My 96 Intrepid was advertised as Candy Apple Red.

Candy Apple colours refer to the 3-layer process using a base colour (usuallly metalic like gold or silver), a translucent colour and clearcoat. A Guy by the name of Joe Baylon (sp?) is considered to be the man who created this process (not sure if thats true or not). Candy colours appear to have a depth to them - like you could jump in and swim in them. Bullseye, although you may not have heard the term used recently, the Candy process is used extensively these days.

Dereksan, I think you could call the Blaze Red or Inferno Red a candy colour because it is absolutlely luscious. Especially when you see it in the early sunrise light - it seems to glow, and changes colour as the lighting changes.
