Go out and look at any Chrysler automobile that is red. They used the same paint. I had a red Crossfire, till totaled and a red Dodge Magnum. I could have sworn the Crossfire was more brilliant. There is no maroon whatsoever in these colors. There is however a touch of brown in the paint that most people would not notice unless the put a 'true' red next to it.
Having said all that, I will tell you I was very disappointed in the red after I had it a while I realize how dull it looked on overcast days. But, boy was it bright in the sunshine due to the extra metalic in the paint that cost 400 extra when they were new.
After I totaled the red one I got the black that I originally wanted. I've had many black cars so I new what to expect, besides it never comes out of the garage if there is any chance of rain and I never go out of town in it. When I see one of the reds I remember how great they look, but they do disappoint with their chameleon like appearance.
Go with the black.......they are faster and handle better.
