I just recently purchased a American Special Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red. Similar situation... the internet pictures make it look a very bright red, sort of like the old "Laser Red" or the red on a Clapton or Knopfler strat. But the actual guitar is a much darker/deeper metallic sparkle red.

My American Special looks exactly like the photo of the Mystic Red strat in the case in the photo above. If there is any difference in the Candy Apple Red and Mystic Red paint at all it is very subtle.

Reds, like blues, are extremely difficult to photograph (especially in the digital format). I've seen pics of Strats in Torino Red, Hotrod Red, Dakota Red, and Fiesta Red where none of the colors resembled the actual hue as applied on the instrument.

It gets even more complex if the shade is a "candy" or "metallic" color, where the use of different undercoat colors and lacquer sealers significantly alters the human eye's perception. There's also the issue of how the image was processed and printed.

Three posts, all making demands. It may be a cultural thing, but writing like this won't encourage people to reply - rather the opposite. It does, unfortunately, come across as rude, especially when repeated.
