carmine red color??

I have a totally rust free 83' gmc sierra classic. However it was repainted a bright red. It originally codes as carmine red. Does anyone have any photos of trucks of that era painted carmine red so i can see how different it is than the color i have now??? Thanks. Matt

I was hoping to see what gm's version of carmine red looke like during the early-mid 80's. I know roman red and honduras maroon changed at least 2-3 times during it's lifespan at gm.

This is not the best, but it does give you an idea. Typically they are clearer than this.
