Prowrap Color help

I purchased some ProWrap red, A, Nylon (319 Redfish) thinking it would be red. When you compare it with another brand of red, the 319 Redfish is kind of peachy-red. So I looked at their color chart and I see Rose, Redfish, and Fire Red and I can't tell by looking at the chart which one is true red (obviously because I bought the wrong color). Here's my question. Which one of these is actually closest to Red? I don't want to buy every color. Does anyone have these other colors and can you tell me which one is closest to a normal red?

The Fire red would be the closest to what you want. If you want it to stay looking like it is on the spool then use CP on it or it will turn darker. Otherwise get it in the Color fast version.

Dave,

I just added finish to one I`m working on. I used the ProWrap 325. It looks pretty red to me. It is advertised as Fire Red. It is the next shade up from the 319.

had the same issue. i was in mudhole so i got the chance to see all the colors and now i know what each one looks like. btw pro wrap doesnt have any reel yellows that are yellow as say a banana peel. they are all mostly lighter. so i go with gudebrod for yellow.
