Maybe I missed something ... but this particular red is reproduced on
devices all over the world ... for example, painted on the bottle, printed
on the can. It is a color some of us call a "memory" color, because we
"remember" what it looks like. True, judging its accuracy is subjective
(subject to our memory), but you can judge is objectively too (beside a
six-pack).
I ask ... "did I miss something?"
