Doppel, There are basically two different bases that are used in the mixing of red paint. They start out with dark red and brighten it with yellow (makes orange - that's the orange hue you see) The other is to start out with a brighter red and darken it with blue. You can get the same color intensity going either way, but the two colors will look different under bright light.
Also, with translucent colors such as these, there is "sometimes" a metallic base coat put on under the color coat. This base coat can be silver, gold, green or blue. When top coated with Translucent red, these colors make up Candy Apple Red, Candy Red, Candy Brandywine, Candy Black Cherry. The PT does not use a base coat under the color coat. Instead it uses silver and gold metallic "double-fine" metalflake. In other words - it looks orange because that is it's base.  ------------------
