2015 Crystal Red v 2016 Crimson Red

[Skid51]

How do the two colors compare? Its tough to tell from photos since both change under different light and I've only seen the Crimson on dealer lots. Seems Crimson is a bit darker/wine colored? I like the apparent brighter pop of the Crystal in the sun and wonder if Crimson loses that. I'm looking at buying either a new '16 or low mile used '15. Thanks.

My 15 has the crystal red Tintcoat and looks wayyyy better when the sun hits it IMO. It almost reminds me of candy apple red. The Crimson or "siren red" is darker and it reminds me of the previous generation tahoes. They stopped making crystal red Tintcoat FYI

I realize Crystal is only in 2015 and Crimson is on the 2016. Its part of my decision on which Denali to go with. From photos I prefer the Crystal for its bright pop in the sun whereas the Crimson stays dark but again, photos can deceive, and was looking for some in-person perspectives on if there's really any material difference between the two reds. Thanks

OP here, was able to view both reds side by side this weekend. To my surprise, on a sunny day the Crimson actually keeps its color depth and looks sharper. The Crystal gets just a bit washed out. But Crystal is certainly not a Fire Red or Candy Red, which elements are what I was hoping for. Ultimately, on a Yukon Denali, not a material difference between '15's Crystal and '16's Crimson, but I'll have slight preference for the Crimson.

I like the crystal red too. The Crimson is fine but the Crystal looks more candy in the sun. here is a couple crystal shots.

Yeah....I guess the Sun never does get directly overhead in the Rockies LOL !!

BEAUTIFUL DENALI BTW!!! Almost too pretty to take it off road....

Honestly...Crimson Red Tint Coat wasn't my first choice...it was White Diamond Tri Coat...but my wife liked the Crimson. As she said...it's my School's Color.."The Alabama Crimson Tide" !!
