Coral Red Owners - Do people mistake your interior for being Orange?
I am the proud owner of a Estoril Blue + Coral Red combo. I've had several people say that they think the interior color looks like a shade of orange.
I find myself correcting people a lot by saying that it's actually Coral Red. In pictures, I think the red comes through better than in real life. I will say that this version of red does appear a little lighter than in previous BMW models I've seen. Anyone else get this reaction? |

Nope, I've only heard that it's red. My wife and daughter think it's too red, but it's not their car.

I showed my dad my car for the first time and he asked if the interior was "basketball red" so... yes? I guess it has been somewhat mistaken for being orange?

Every person has a different ability to differentiate colors, some people are very bad at it. Next time someone calls it orange ask them to do this:
http://www.xrite.com/online-color-test-challenge And see how they fare ;-) My wife chastises me and my color choices when getting dressed and then I made her take the test, turns out she has fairly bad color acuity and I'm nearly perfect except in the greens.

Its red but I can see it mistaken for orange because its not a very strong red.

I had coral red interior in my 2008 335xi coupe (Black Sapphire Metallic), and I actually had a few people stop me in parking lots and ask me if it was a modified interior or came like that stock from the factory.

Also - today's coral red does have more of an orange tint to it, more so than in previous generations such as my 2008 335xi.

I ordered a Deep Sea Blue Sport with track pack AND Coral Red yesterday. I have not seen mention of this combo on here. Will I have the only one?
