Hello! I just received this 19B true red caviar beauty today! ❤️
It is the Zipped O Coin Purse version with 3 open accordion compartments on the inside and a back slip pocket. Cost was $600 plus tax.

Here are some color comparisons...

Depending on how the light hits the 19B red caviar’s shiny coating, 19B red is most similar to 16S red or the red Gucci Marmont. I also noticed that the 19B red caviar’s sheen can make it look less saturated or less vibrant than the 16S red or red Gucci Marmont in different lighting.
19B red is a true red. When you look at 19B red straight on, it does not have a blue, pink or orange undertone. Depending on how the light reflects off of 19B caviar’s sheen in different lighting though, it could look like it has a pink or orange undertone in different pictures. The sheen on the caviar can also make the red look less saturated or less vibrant than reds from other seasons depending on how the light hits it.
Here is 19B vs my 19A red caviar Coco Handle.

These 2 shades are extremely close in color. The major difference is that 19B has a shiny coating versus 19A’s more matte finish. The shiny and matte leathers look just a little bit different depending on how the light reflects off of them.
The hardest comparison to catch was 19B red caviar versus Classic 00V red caviar since the Classic red has a brown undertone that is hard to capture in pictures. 19B red is on top and Classic red is on the bottom.

Please keep in mind that when you are comparing 19B red caviar with reds from other seasons, 19B might look like it has an undertone compared to the red caviar from other seasons because those reds might be blue, pink and/or orange-based reds with blue, pink and/or orange undertones.
I hope this helps! ❤️ I was driving myself crazy trying to decide if I wanted to get something with the 19B red caviar because it was so hard to tell what it looked like from pictures! Every single picture looked different... just like always with Chanel reds!!!
Your post was spot on! What a great description of a beautiful color.
