I took this photos inside my local dealer yesterday. It appeared a brighter red than I was expecting but it was taken under bright white lights.

yes ive been trying to work out what this red is actually like and its impossible to tell from pictures.....I have seen this red looking a lot darker than Corrida Red but as thats not available, Velvet it is. Does show off the beige interior perfectly though

Velvet red in daylight. It is brighter than I was expecting but stands out in a sea of grey and silver cars, hard to miss in a car park.

its weird isnt it, in the showroom the plaques with the paint colours show velvet red as quite a dark red but the pics on here look more Corrida red and I know on an uncalibrated screen they wont be realistic etc, but I do like those 2 pics, and even im getting fed up of white cars lol

From the showroom colour sample I was expecting it to be darker. More like the rio red of our Octavia.

Its a nice color but main problem why i didnt pick red was because tail lights does not stand out at all. Hardly visible with red it it looks really odd then as tail ights are quite small overall compared to other compact suv's.
Color itself is nice. Thats why i picked moonwhite it shows all those lights really well.
