All of the above!

It is called candy red because a clear red is sprayed over a silver base.
But as you can see in the picture, it changes from red to pink to black.
In the sunlight, it's burning candy crimson!
And seeing as we are located at the same coordinates, you could come by & see it in person.

PM me if you'd like.
