Default Bright Red vs Torch Red

I'm wondering if there is really a visual difference between the exterior '90-'92 "bright red" and '93-'95 "torch red" colors.
Would there be a noticeable difference if one installed an earlier year "bright red" top on a later year "torch red" car?
I appreciate any help

Fairly big difference. Torch Red is more orange.

Difference is staggering. The Torch red is a much brighter red as it has more orange pigment in the paint as Demps said.

Thanks very much. Believe I have a NOS, early year bright red top in a crate and was hoping I had a spare without repainting.

Thanks for all the feedback. Obviously there is enough difference that the top wouldn't be "plug-n-play",
so I'll probably just find a new home for it. Again, thanks for the help.
