My experience has been that reds will usualy turn more of a faded orange ...
It depends on the mix of red.
I have a '75 Chevy Monza that is painted Light Red (GM Code 75), but has an orange cast to it in strong sunlight. My dad's '75 Impala was Medium Red (Code 72) for 1975 - more like a dark shade of fire engine red. One day, my dad mistakenly grabbed my tube of touch-up paint to work on his car in the garage; then, he notices all these little orangish spots in his paint after he backed the car out into the drieveway.
Packard's Scottish Heather is not a pure red, but has a bit of blue to it. It is similar in appearance to the flower of its namesake plant, but more red than purple.
My Caribbean Hardtop is White/Heather/Gray (MKN) but the middle color as shown in my avatar and Owner Registry images is way off.
