There are known two shades of metallic green by Aston Martin: metallic green and very light metallic green almost silver metallic.
I think that it was never mentioned that there are two shades of metallic red also. The red model is quite rare and therefore perhaps there was comparison up till now.

Are both gpw and bpw found with both reds?

Both have BPW.

Is it only the lightest version that also comes with gpw?

The Aston on the right almost looks pink in that image Antonin. This is one of my favourite RW castings.

I have the light red variation only by BPW.

I like it also but not only like RW but also as the real car. I think that Aston Martin with Jaguar E Type are the prettiest british car and one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Definitely (although there are plenty of good-looking British-made pre-war cars too.)

I have what i believe are 2 light red 53a, gpw and bpw - both the same shade and dont match darker car on this thread

My two variations have a distinct shade difference too, except the version that is more on the red side isn't as dark as yours. The pictures might not show that too well.
