RikimaruLooks like stoplight red on my screen. The "orange" part is actually the inside edge of the cap creating a reflection.

RikimaruYup. I was hoping the 99% RGB profile on my 1440p monitor wasn't that bad. Glad you said something. Honestly I'm glad it looks more orange than red because I was thinking of adding a little resin flair to my Carbon SA cap layout and orange is exactly what I want. ;)

Neblin7Profile has nothing to do with it. I'm looking at it on my CALIBRATED 4k OLED display... There are parts that look red... there are parts that look orange.
I imagine the caps will look great with GMK Forge. There may be a bit of orange HUE, but just going off the photo, the cap appears 100% red... Not Orange. If you actually take samples of the image and measure the colors, there are parts with codes like:
#D60019
Note that means 0 green which means NO YELLOW.
On the parts that are "orange" the codes are like:
#FC3533 or #F2421C
The thing is that means there is as much blue as there is green.... the reason... its a highlight so the actual color being added is the white of a reflection.
You cannot just pretend a photo is some magic flat representation of color. You are seeing a 3d object in 2d... there are highlights and lowlights.
A better image to look at the color would be the spacebars:

Amnesia1187I agree with your technical analysis of color 100%. If you think that space bar looks absolutely red, then I THINK you might be colorblind.

There is absolutely a bit of orange hue just like I said before, but it is absolutely a shade of red.

Amnesia1187well... after receiving them, they're no where near red, but more like brown with an orange tint
