(January 22, 2018 at 10:56 am)Grandizer Wrote: Pretty sure it's "new red car". Why? I think it may have something to do with the fact that "redness" is more "ingrained" in the car than its "newness". Thus "red" should be closer to "car" than "new".

Edit: Oh, so I was wrong? What??? Pool, source?

Apparently this question was asked in a prestigious exam for civil service and their stance is that "red new car" is more correct than "new red car" because according to them "new" is more important than "red" as far as the car is concerned so therefore new should come near the car.
