247 Ruby Mica/Swiss Ruby Mica is Red Mica (in Japan) Also available in Switzerland?
372 Barcelona Red could be Bright Red (in Germany)
487 Crimson Mica could be Bordeaux Pearl (in the UK) or Bordeaux Red Mica
559 Brilliant Red could be Bright Red (in the UK)

We need a spreadsheet for just the various reds, their codes and markets
How to input this onto the existing spreadsheet without a lot of confusion and cross-referencing is challenging.

Look at this revised spreadsheet. Do I have it right?

You are correct so far as I know.
With the exception of the code you list,225 for the first one, a typo I'm sure, it should read 265.

It is my guess that the Ruby Mica pearl red variant was available in Germany up to maybe '94. But I don't know.

We once had a guy from Switzerland who used to post here, and had contacts in the German club. I will bet if we sent him your new revised chart, he could fill in plenty of info on the Europe continental colours.
