To help you choose whether or not you need the new Alarming Cool racerback, here are some color comparisons of Alarming (from 2010) to other reds - Love Red, Currant, Atomic Red, and Grapefruit. Alarming is tough to classify. I consider it more of an orange - a reddish orange - but a lot of people call it a red.  I would say Alarming is a slightly darker Love Red. It's pretty hard to capture accurately with the camera on my iPhone.

SO is this more of an orange or a red?

I think of Alarming as a reddish orange and I hang it with oranges in my closet, but a lot of people consider it more of a red, an orangey red. I think it's a half-full or half-empty kind of thing, lol.

I have an Alarming (with Deep Coal accent colour) Define Jacket and I think of it as an orangey red or reddish orange colour :) like LLA said it's kind of like a glass half-full or half-empty thing! It definitely has an orange look to it and isn't a true red, but more red and a darker colour than Atomic Red (I have this Define as well) which I think of as more of an orange coral colour and not red at all.

Thanks LLA! I think I will get the Alarming CRB even though I have the Love Red CRB from about three years ago? Or maybe two. It's starting to show signs of wear and I've changed sizes since then so this looks like a good replacement. These sorts of orangey reds go very good with my coloring. Whenever I see someone in a love red tank it always catches my eye as such a pretty color.
