If they truly are suppose to be the same color, then either my eyes were playing games with me, or someone at the factory screwed up mine or the Scion. I have yet to hear from other members to see if they ever did the real life comparisons themselves regarding red.
Maybe different batch of paint, lol. Red is a pain to match...

I work at a body shop, and the painter showed me these cards he used. He was painting a Honda Odyssey. Over 5 cards were same color code except they had extra letter attached to end to differentiate the variances. I tried to match... Then thought I had better things to do than stare at color cards all day...
