What color red is this?

Had to delete last post because Calypso happened not to be an option.

What color red do you think this car is. He states it is calypso, but it seems to bright and not metallic enough. The car is an 85eta if the year helps.

I am waiting to get the VIN so I can look it up on the BMW site.

Thanks for looking

I think, not sure, that calypso is more like burgandy, brilliant is bright red and cinnabar is also a bright red with maybe a hint of orange. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you certain that it isn't a respray?

cinnabar I believe is a much more brighter color
and calypso a much more maroon/burgendy shade

I think it is very close to my color: zinnorot or however you spell it.

Im totaly not sure so correct me if im wrong.

I think every color is different. I'm looking around for color codes and samples and have found this so far. Maybe just a lil different shade or brightness.

Either could I so I asked for help. So far we know it probably is not calypso.

Either cinnabar or brilliant. the VIN will tell, and I will ask about the respray.

I think that's zinnoberrot, looks like the same color as my car, and that's what Red my car is.
