So it's not a cheap backyard bargain, but I did find this Crimson red performer deluxe online, which is surprising as I didn't think they were making red anymore. What do you guys think of the Crimson Red?
It's free shipping and no tax, so that's a bit of a discount I suppose.
I always wince a little when someone asks what WE "think" about a certain color. Opinions are fun, but if you like it nothing else matters.
Here's the deal. Weber non-blacks have mostly been
matte (not bright/glossy) colors in recent years. If you go to any of the European Weber sites you'll see these (albeit in yet different colors.)
The Crimson Red was last year's or maybe 2014? I forget. For unused machines, the only exception I'm aware of that's not black/copper/green (available anywhere) is the blue sold by Crate and Barrel:
