Not very close at all. The color is between the claret and barcelona red. Or, in other words, the claret is very much darker in color. Hope this helps.

Yeah the Claret looks darker almost like a plum color.

Re: Claret and Bordeaux how close are they?

sometimes ill find that with the claret (or mine at least) the lighting can make it appear as if it 'changes colors'

for example, if it's cloudy out, the car looks more purple
if it's sunny out, the claret looks like it has a hint of red to it
