As digital capture and presentation on a monitor is always quite variable, while the color may be correct, the coarseness of the metallic is way off. I have seen a number of "rose" Cinellis, and none looked like that.
A number of painters don't "see" this or don't care, or the client is set on DuPont Imron a paint system that does not use fine metallic.

There was a guy in the local club who had one, and he always got chided for having a pink bike. With admiration actually, they were rare and not cheap in the mid 70's.
