Gen 1 is my favorite for the Product Red Sports Band and Loop. That Gen 3 looks orange here.
Yeah it’s about as orange red can get without crossing over but it looks much better irl without the full light crank I like doing for comps.

Pred2 is ever so slightly darker than Plum

Cross post, but may be useful to people here...

(P)Red Gen 1 to 4, original Orange and Hermes.
Nice shot! Seems like the 4th gen is pretty close to 1st gen -- which is still in my top 5 list of frequent flyer bands (across all types). Spicy Orange would be an interesting one to slide in, presumably between pred4 and Orange..
Yes, 4th is a slightly peachier version of 1st. I’ll try and do a version with Spicy at some point, but it relies on the bands aligning with the rapidly-dwindling decent sunlight. Winter is coming.
You captured that subtle difference well.
I think Spicy would fit between OG Orange and Hermes. OG is already very red for an orange. My wife is the orange to pink expert though and I haven’t got her across the line on hanging her M/L pieces with my collection. We’ll get there eventually though.

Also, for someone with a small wrist, only a bit of that dark color would be showing on the Pred2, so it makes it not so much a doppelgänger for plum in terms of how it will appear on one's wrist.
Charcoal SpLo is something like dark mode Surf Blue

Anyone has photos of the new pink citrus compared to the original pink and apricot?
Thanks @FenC OG pink and PC look like twins!
Yep, they are a prime example of why we were keen to get the ToxTags - if those get mixed up it’ll be fun trying to sort them out again for sure.
Not sure if it’s the lighting but I think the lugs of PC look like they are a tiny bit warmer in tone than OG pink. But you’re right if they’re mixed up I don’t trust that I would be able to put that knowledge to work.
