[Healeys] Reno red with white coves

[Bluehealey]

I have to agree that Colorado Red has an Orange hue to it that isn't to my taste but probably looks good in the California sunshine.
Reno red on the other hand is, I feel, a little too dark as were many of the colours applied to cars of early 1950's vintage.
There is a third option if red is the colour that floats your boat. Carmine red. I think it was a Jaguar colour but may have been in the AH palette for a short time.  It has a good solid feel that suits the car without being too 'shouty'. 
My BN4 was originally Colorado over Black so I went with ........  Blue <grin>.
