So if it's right to say "new red car." Then that's just right, not more right, can something be more right, it's either right or wrong isn't it. Is rightest a word? Can you be righter about a subject than someone else? "He's right, but you are slightly righter."

Like, the car is always going to be red, so 'new' is the more prominent verb idk. The bugle sounds as the charge begins
