Red Interiors??? Im confused

On the BUILD ur OWN, its a bright red. On a Silver w/red I saw in person its a maroonish/cranberry red. WHICH is it ?
Im trying to decide between Red and Black on a Black SLK. Im doing a EDP so I dont want to see it the first time in Germany.

There are 2 and they look completely different. The silver and red is the red I'd like. The Black/Red on the second page looks terrible.

Go with what you saw in person. Computers are rarely able to replicate the same color used in the car. I would assume the 350/55 use the same color leather (except the full seat is red in the 350 v. red center sections in the 55).

the red in the 55 is different hten that in hte 350. The red interior in hte 55 is rd insert with black contour. The red in the 350 is a burgundy/red color as seen in all the 350's and in the SL500's. nice chocie with the black exterior red interior
