Was the red paint on 93-95 90's Tornado Red or not?

Kinda want to do the "cop out" B4 hood swap, being that my Coupe is Tornado Red.

Thank you

Mine is red. I believe Tornado Red.

Is there a website to tell us the factory name?
The "Model Guide" above does not give a list of colors.

Paint codes list Laser Red, Cerise-Pearl Effect, and Ruby Red Pearl Effect

The 1995 interestingly does also list Tornado Red, but NOT the 93 and 94 model years.

Look for the Y3D code for T-Red on the option code tag in the trunk. Laser is Y3H, and is brighter/lighter. If you park my CQ next to the A4tq, the difference is quite shocking...
