I'm going to repaint my 56 Victoria this winter. Its currently red and white and I figured I would go back with the same. It was originally black and white so numbers matching is not needed plus I dont want to change out my interior. The interior is not stock but is kind of a deeper red. The original red for 56 was Fiesta Red but to me is a little pale for my taste. In 55 they had a Torch Red and in 57 a Flame Red and a Torch Red. Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Flame and Torch Red? Thanks!

I found a couple pics of the flame red and torch red. Torch red appears to be a bit darker/
