Color differences?

[02m2]

Was looking at this:http://www.e9forum.com/?page_id=155

anyone know the differences between the following?:

024 Verona vs. 052 Henna

028 Phonix Orange vs. 002 Colorado Orange

To me they look the same?

verona is a good traditional red ... hennarot is a very orange red - a color used in early e30's (especially early m3)

phoenix orange as i remember is a cross between colorado and inka - i know colorado is a yellow orange ... execmalibu calls his the great pumpkin ... but i always thought of it more as a yellow.

Interesting but if you look at the pics in the link they look the same. I have a colorado orange 02 and the Phonix orange looks the same....

No offense but you may be red/green colorblind. I myself am yellow/green. A lot of guys are color blind and don't even know it. I get a lot of crap from the community because I love Golf, but everyone says it's because I am yellow/green colorblind and can't see the actual color like you all see it, and that is true. But since I will never know, if I like it then that is all that matters right?

Thanks...been tested and don't have any issue. I know all the 2002 colors most of which are shared with the e9's. Many manufacturers have different names for the same color on different models. Don't know the e9 stuff very well yet so I apologize for the dumb questions.

Cool binder! Can you do that with Verona and Grenada? I don't think I'm going to keep mine red. If I do, I think I would switch from Grenada to Verona.

Thanks! I definitely like Verona better. I've never been a fan of red cars in general, with exception to a few (like an F40 ).

I just checked the two band orange parts books and I don't see Phoenix listed as a E9 color. I think many of the colors shown on the euro E9 site are not original to the E9 but are later BMW colors used when cars were restored. That said, I believe there are some examples of "paint-to-order" that were done back in the day. Does anyone know what BMW model did come with phoenix red, if any?

E21 3series (I think) & some newer cars (1 series) although the newer is much more orange than the former.

May be a clue

Chart from upholstery book Aug.1976


Have to give a better look in E24 charts.

New development (for me anyway). Despite being listed as a 1977 paint, Phönix was available on late model e3's.

DE: 1976 E3 2500 Project - Factory Phönix Paint 2,500€

Being the BMW dork that I am, I get excited when I "discover" a factory paint option/order. If I see something new, I look into it. A 2500 isn't terribly exciting, but when are you ever going to see another Phönix E3...
