I like the shade of red on the Ferrari F12berlinetta
Maybe Tony used a red hue from Mazda for the Mark III:
A cursory search for "hotrod red" came up with these:
A reference pic (not sure if movie accurate though)
Another reference pic from if I recall correctly, was from the promo materials for the movie:

Thanks for the colors. 
Mark 3 is the only mark that has the darker red, and Hot Toys should reflect that.

Just put order in for this from Sideshow. I hope that color will be darker than the prototype photos.

Come on Hot Toys, don't mess this up!

Why wouldn't Hot Toys just go with the red they used on the Mark IV? Then this would be perfect. Dark red, but not quite maroon.
Mk 4 red is not the correct color for the Mk 3.

No, but it would be a nice middle-ground, and would look better than what they have, imo. But like most people, I would prefer that it be accurate to the movie.

Yeah i like the really dark red on the III
The original Mark III was my first Hot Toys figure and my gateway into collecting. I still remember how excited I was opening it. I ended up having to sell it so there's no way I'm letting this pass, easy PO especially with the double rewards for the non ex.
Ugh, I really see how I don't PO this later once I have a bunch of RP convert. Looks good to me.
Yeah but that dark maroon just doesn't look IM to me, his suits are red in the comics, and during this scene in the film it looks
more dark red than maroon.
more dark red than maroon.

The scenes in Afghanistan are tinted in such a way as the III looks more maroon than the actual dark red. But side-by-side in the movie HoA the III is darker than the IV so it's not just colour grading.
I gather Hot Toys MK IV, VI and VII all use the same red? My IV looks pretty accurate to the movie...bit too glossy maybe. I'd say the III proto uses that same red...not some other lighter shade...and it only looks lighter (pink) in certain pictures with strong lighting.
Personally I hope the final is a shade darker than the MK IV, VI and VII in order to differentiate the piece in a line-up.
Well if its slightly darker red than that would be fine with me, but maroon is not accurate like people think. That just tinting/lighting.

My one concern would be if HT are using a lighter shade of red because despite their statement that diecast figures will not suffer from 'pink panties', they are not as confident about that fact with a darker maroon, as they make out.. a lighter shade of red might make any fading less noticeable?
