Bordeaux red vs. firemist red difference

Can anyone tell me (if that is possible) or show me the difference between firemist red and bordeaux red. I have done a search and looked through the galleries and they both seem pretty similar. I went on the MB official web site to see if I could build a car with both colors but apparently the 2005 CLK does not come in the bordeaux anymore. I have narrowed down my used car search from a M3, LS 430 and the CLK 430 or 55 to the CLK. Now I need to focus on color, coupe vs cab and 430 vs 55. Thanks.

CLK55, CL500, Q45
I have had two CLK's. My first one (the 55) was in designo red,
which was a deep red, almost purple color. That color is almost
impossible to find. The one I have now (430) is in bordeaux red.
The bordeaux is like a deep wine color. During bright sunshine its
a nice dark red, and at night it can pass as black. From what I
know, the firemist is a lighter red, and looks red in all types of light.
Hope this helps!
