Color name, paint code & rarity?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new SE! Being an 85, the only red available was Sunrise Red, which is color code RH. This does not appear to be Sunrise Red. This looks more like Persimmon Red Metallic, which was available only in 1984. The color code is a two character, letter and number, stamped onto the vin plate on the firewall. Can you post a picture of that? From there we can tell you what the exact color is or was originally.

paint codes have been discussed fairly recently. check this link out. open the hood, there's a metal plaque on the firewall that has the paint code stamped in it.

looks like u really scored. any back story on it?

and what's up with the pass side roof at the windshield?

welcome to the board. :)

that's a really nice SE. as stated above, yes, if you check the firewall, there should be silver plate that will give you the color code for the car.

it does look like Persimmon, so maybe if you check the build date, it may clear up some discrepancy. i trust the information mazdaverx713b gave you (about it being an '84 color), so i'd say it's worth looking into.
