The color of my 2006 Hyundai Tiburon is called “Electric Red”. I noticed within days it was the same color as fresh blood, but no car maker would call the color “Blood Red”.
Sounds beautiful.
I think Tiburon mean shark in Spanish.
Reds, blues, greens, yellows are nice, but too few car models offer them anymore except for sports cars.
Your post about naming red paint colors made me laugh.
When our family moved into our new (VERY OLD) house more than thirty years ago, we were shocked to see the dining room painted red. REALLY red. My parents vowed to change the color ASAP, but as time went on, we grew used to it, and as more time went on, we became attached to it.
So, come paintin’ time, Mom went over to Martin’s Home Decorating Center (”We Ain’t Just Paint!”) with a small paint chip she chipped off the wall. Turns out they had an exact match. The name of the paint? “Imperial Blood.”
And thus it has remained ever since.
