Shade of Red

Well, this summer I think i'm going to be giving my car a whole new coat of paint. Nothing fancy like $5,000 or anything, just a simple 2 stage paint job.
The car is currently red, and i'm not going to do a color change so:

Post pics of your favorite shades of red, I need some input! thanks guys.

the red on the version:select car is elegant, it looks good. But i think i want something a little more racey, that looks fast.

my buddy owns a shop, he mixes the paint right there. He can get me any color i want.
I can get a one-of-a-kind color, he'll write down the code for me incase i need more.
