this is like asking what shade of blue the sky is. There are going to be a million answers and none of them are really correct. The correct answer is to go down to a paint shop, look at chips. Or to go to a dealership and look at cars, but either way, this is a decision that you have to make.

98 camaro cayenne red is my favorite. I so regret not ordering that color..

Hyaudai Tiburons (however you spell that crap) in the early 2000's had the brightest red I have seen in a while......
