I've never seen brown in my car that I can remember. If anything it goes goldish-yellow in the sunlight. The only time you'll ever see brown is in poor photographs with weird auto-color correction from the camera.
Yeah, you're right. But there's a certain flatness in the color that reads as brown. I think we're all feeling a little tense right now as the first draft of the spec tier list was just leaked. Nobody is quite sure where their spec belongs.

Found it. AutoArt did make it in Lightning Blue. Extremely hard to find though…

Damn man. For the price of the 1:18s you could have had a Heritage R!

A lot of those colors are near impossible to find for sale now. Thus the price on that Lightning R I posted. There’s a few Triple Yellow ones on eBay but they’re in Japan. Leadfoot is another one that’s really hard to find.

I had to google "tier list". I mean, It's kind of obvious, but that's "gamer" talk, right? Used in video game rankings?

Yeah, you got me. I do gamings.

It's a little bit of a new term for me, too. For instance, why does it start with S? But, nonetheless it's a useful tool. In business there used to be this term called it stack ranking. Basically forcing you to compare things to each other.

Race Red is an interesting color on the 350R because, like Rapid Red & Ruby, didn't come with any stripe options. The red pins on the R cars would disappear and the design team just wasn't having it. Similar with the Orange in 2020. So that makes the car unique.

That is interesting. And precisely why we need this tier list 😬

I guess back to the question at hand, Race Red is a classic color and looks great on the R. Race Red with a painted black roof would be towards the top for me. My #1 is Grabber Lime, black stripes and painted black roof. Number two would be Grabber Blue, black stripes and painted black roof. Race Red with painted black roof would be #3 for me.

Your Race Red R would be a keeper IMO, OP.

What a collection

What's your S tier top spec?
You may have to explain the Tier thing LOL. Blue and Red have always been my favorite but these are all equal for me, I guess Id say what Carroll said, the next one. (I have many more diecast)

As for colors of the actual cars, I owned a Race Red car with Blue stripes. I still love that color combo. The pin stripes were black but, I changed them to white, red white and blue. When I ordered my R I asked if I could possibly get the same stripe combo and of course was told no (didnt hurt to ask) but then with the Velocity Blue with white stripes and of course, red pins. Again, red, white and blue. Now, if I could have the same cars in the garage as the diecast, Id be happy :) They almost all look good.
