candy apple red
Bright lacquered crimson
Candy apple red is a vivid, glossy red with the deep, lacquered shine of a candied apple's coating.
The color appears most often describing car paint finishes, where it suggests a lustrous, attention-grabbing quality: a 1957 Chevy in candy apple red.
The phrase evokes both the specific hue—a rich, slightly darkened red—and the high-gloss finish that makes it gleam.
