Have been trying to decide on a color for my truck. I think it is going to be red but that only narrows it down a little as there are so many to choose from. Was looking at going with the swift red since that was one of the original colors. After looking at what claims to be swift red trucks online they often appear to be different shades. Maybe just lighting and camera used makes them look that way. I am looking for a bright red. No orange tint. Just red. Looking for opinions of the swift red from anyone that has one or has seen one in person. Thanks.

That's the trouble with looking at colors on a computer. They look different depending on your monitor, and even the angle you're looking at it.

Here's a thought. Go to a paint store and have them mix up your candidates in a spray can and do a sprayout of each. A custom mixed spray can costs about $30-40. That way you can make your best choice out in daylight. Paint stores will have color chips and they'll let you take them outside to look at. But that can get overwhelming with all the different choices.

Good luck.
