I have a P-13 and a P-15, both 1972 and both what I have always referred to as "candy apple red". If this is the color you are referring to, I could wheel one out into the bright Arizona sunshine and shoot some pics using old fashioned FILM and send them by pony express. Or you could just drive across the desert and look at them.....BTW I love that color. Perfect for Paramounts of that era.

Hello,

Not wantin to whip up a huge 'color' thread.... but has anyone found a color spec for this popular Schwinn color ?

I've found several nice images on the web of old Paramounts in red - and they all look nice to me, but I know whatever I'm seeing on a digital image can be nowhere close to what the 'proper' color might be !!

Thanks for any thoughts.
