Yes, I totally agree!! I loved the metallic look to the patent mini skinnys. Also, I think the red is considered "coral red" so it probably is an orangey-red.
I have the green. I love the color! It is a bright green, very cheerful and cute. I like to wear browns a lot. I think the green will go well with both black and brown bags. However, the red sold out online very quickly, so it seems most like that better if they started off with the same amount of stock.
The red is actually a very red color. More like a apple. I have it in green, red, and white. The white is very very white, specially with the contrast of the gold metal. I have pictures of the red and green in my collection, just click on the link below. Haven't had time to take a picture of the white one
