Default Color blind man needs help...

I'm shade blind so I have a really tough time telling the difference in colors w/ subtle differences. I'm getting a ram air hood and buying the paint myself. What color is my car and even more important, what might the paint code be for my color. Did a little research and found a "flame red" code #81/WA8774. Is this right? Thanks guys!

I like the stance on your TA

The first thing I thought when I read the title and I don't want to sound like an *** here but wouldn't somebody that was color blind stay away from red or green cars to enjoy the visual effect of the car.

WA8774 is what I'm going for and the guy said he should be done by Sunday. Hopefully I'll have some pictures up as soon as the weather clears up.

I'm supposedly color blind aswell, I can see all colors and tell the difference between red and green (what I'm color blind to). I think the red I see is different to what others see though, my red may be your blue for example, kinda weird.

Oh, and to tie all this in relation to cars, your car looks good!
