How "Orange/Rust" is Sedona Red

[Larry_Legend]

If I don't get Monaco because of crummy interior choices, I will go with Sedona Red and Black. I'm somewhat color blind I think because until recently I didn't even notice any orange or copper in the color, but now I do.

Whats the consensus on this?

It's a bit 'brick red' in direct sunlight. But a lot of us think of it as 'Tomato Soup' red.

Some of us even see it as near-brown. One thing is for sure, SR looks a far sight better in Internet images. IMO.

I finally saw it in person yesterday. I would definitely say it has alot of copper/rust to it. Unlike other people, I actually really liked the different hue.

But I'm still getting AW.

I aggree it have a lot of copper/rust . it reminds me of a redder version of toyota's Hot lava orange. I don't care for it in person.

[jdesclafani]

yea it kinda looks like mazdas copper red...

[gatorfast]

Def go see it in person. I thought I liked it judging by photos alone and after seeing it in person I would def not buy one.

I concur with gator. it looked great in the press photos but in person it has a lot of burnt orange going on. almost dull. i think if your going to go for the red. then go for the crimson.

well said. tomoatoe soup color which is great at the diner... but not in MY driveway.

It looks muich more rust/brown in person then the pictures. Not my cup of tea. I think Crimson red looks sharper IMO.

I think its one of those colors that looks cool the first two times you see it but then after seeing it over and over again you get tired of it fast. I would love to see one on the road but I would never own one.
Get monaco blue. I saw that in person on saturday with a light interior and it looked amazing. not sure exactly what the interior was but it looked light like vanilla or something close to it.

Mmmmm Mmmmm Good
See Sedona in person..........It's a very interesting color and very unique. It looks very different in different lighting.
I don't hate it, but were I making your decision for you, I would go with the Monaco / Terra combo.......it's classic.

I have Sedona Red, and I don't find it dull at all. Are we all living on the same planet with the same sun? :biggrin:

On an overcast day the color washes out, but.....so does every other car on the road!!!!

Colors are really simple. Just go to a dealership that has the colors you're interested in, "man up" (so to speak), and make a decision. No one can make it for you. I have seen all the other colors and frankly I find them boring. So take that for what you will!

Trust me, I get more looks in my Sedona Red 135i than I can keep track of. I feel like I'm driving an F430. :thumbup:

YAH. For Monaco blue I would go for black, terra, or lemon interior. But this is my opinion. I am getting Alpine/Coral/grey poplar.

This is one of the most accurate photo representations I have seen... My photo, my car...

I actually haven't seen the color on the car in person, however, I did see an X3 (not sure which year cause I know the current year does not offer the color or anything close to it) and I really liked it...

However, like yourself, I'm still going with AW. :biggrin:

The first car I owned that I actually liked was a Turbo AWD Eagle Talon in white... I really loved that car and have missed it ever since I sold it back in 2002 and I think I've been chasing after it ever since.

I tried buying a white AWD TT 3S (3000GT/Stealth) but could not find one so I had to get something else... Then I wanted a white IS350 but the wait was to long so I got silver...

I NEEDED a car yesterday but am willing to wait for the car I want this time... Willing. But not happy. :wink:

Please remember, unless you're looking at a really terrible shot of a colour, there is no point in one person saying 'That's spot on' because it won't look the same on someone else's screen.

Good point...........the 2 pics posted above do not represent the color that I saw in person, but then one pic cannot with this color. I was at a function at my dealer with one Sedona in the showroom and one outside in the sunlight............TWO completely different looks to the color. You would think that the 2 cars were different colors.

I saw it sitting outdoors on a very sunny day, and it looked just like that Mitsubishi Eclipse color...Sunset Pearlescent

I didn't say it was "spot on"....

Lets not turn this into a monitor calibration thread.
