Are these carmine or flame?

These pics were sent to me from a seller but he doesn't know the interior rpo code and doesn't have the spid sticker. They look flame red to me, but I was hoping somebody might be able to give me a second (or third) opinion.

Thanks,
Jack

They do look like Carmine,can't really tell by the pic.I'm trying to think where you could take them for a definite color match,maybe a GM dealer???

Look at the last 2 digits in the code.That is usually the year they came from.That will give you a starting point

Re: Are these carmine or flame?

He said it came out of a '92 Camaro which would lead me to believe they're actually bright red not flame, but the SPID sheet is unavailable to confirm this though. Not that it really matters because if I do get them I'll just end up refinishing them with SEM Flame Red and sending the belts out for replacement as they are pretty faded from what I'm told.

Re: Are these carmine or flame?

They look the same as my Carmaine, but my car is an 87 so not sure if there is a differance? I'm sure it's close as my seatbelts don't match the seats 100% and my car is all stock with 50K on it so it's all in good shape.

They appear to look more like Carmine.

They look like they have maroon color.
