carnation red

Rebecca Gates - "Carnation Red"

Her lips were painted carnation red and her eyelids silver but her smooth unlined jet black skin was untouched.

When the railcars and first-generation diesels came in, they were painted in "carnation red" with a white or yellow stripe.

The remainder of the DM units were painted in "carnation red", the traditional railways livery from the 1930s.

From October 1953, a number of F and F1 type trams were repainted from Tuscan and Cream livery into Carnation Red and Silver.

After Harrah's death in 1984, the auction catalogue advertised the lot as having a carnation red body with white top and created from parts of a Ford Model T, a Maxwell, a Hudson and a Chevrolet.
