Different red interiors

What is the difference among lords red, chancellor red and spicy red?

It seems like chancellor and spicy are bright red and lords is more orangish/red?

Reds are a funny color. It really needs to be seen in person. The amount of blue in the red has much to do with how "red" it looks. I have chancellor seats and door inserts and was very pleased when car showed up, as I bought it unseen. It is a rich red that does not become too loud in daylight. Most of the colors I have seen in person look refined. It seems to be fairly apparent that a little time and expertise went into the selection of the individual colors. (would be very surprised if selections were based on what was in the leather man's case and most cost effective.) But it is possible I, like a few others, have succumbed to the aura surrounding the mark and the quality automatically attributed. I do believe you may want to visit a dealer and see, and compare color and compare color quality to other makes, you may be pleasantly surprised or just experiencing the after taste of the kool-aid recently sipped.

Spicy is the brightest, most saturated of those three.
Chancellor is a bit more neutral and dark.
Lords even more so.

You have to see them in person and context. I don't know how anyone picks an interior based on a few inch square swatch.

I'll second that, it makes a big difference to see them in person compared to looking at pictures. I went with the Chancellor and am quite happy with it. I think the exterior color can also makes a difference of which one looks best.

Pics are often horrible with showing reds. I really like the Chancellor and Lords reds, especially with a light silver stitching. Haven't seen Spicy in person.

Spicy Red is a bright red. It's not meant to be used as an overall interior color but instead as an accent color. Lords Red is darker than Chancellor Red and I think is better as an overall interior color and rarer. I've seen it on a Hammerhead Silver DBS Volante and it really looked great.

Chancellor - real red, no deviation from the spectrum
Spicy - Very bright, even a little tomato hue sporty
Lords, Rich and burgundy definitely a touch of wine. I had it on my V12V.
