Paint color

Just starting to research repainting the car. It probably wont get painted until income tax time, but I like to do my research before hand.

The car was originally that maroonish "flame red" color. All the door trim and engine bay is this color. Badges will be the maroon GTA badging. I don't really want the stock 74U Flame Red color.

I am looking for opinions on the color. It needs to go well with the Flame red badges, but subtly different. Suggestions?
