I also found this in my archive from back when I was considering Red for my
restoration.
I'm not sure where I got the screengrab from but Carmine (note the spelling)
was definitely an early AH colour.
Hope this helps.

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'.
