Default What red color goes best with a black interior?

I was thinking on painting my 64 coup with REDFIRE..I love the dark red pearl look...but the store clerk selling the car paints...commented that it's too dark for my all black interior (friendly advice)...that something like a charcoal interior would go best with a Redfire Mustang.

Is he nuts...or does he have a point?


P.S. ...and no...I don't like the original colors of Rangoon Red or Poppy Red...lol.

Oh...I got a couple of price quotes...

$370 for a gallon of Redfire...ouch...lol.

I also requested a quote for Midnight Blue (just to test the waters)...that one costs $180 a gallon...much cheaper...wow.

He's nutz. Vintage Burgundy looks great with a black interior.



You don't like Poppy Red? Now I'm concerned.

Poppy Red is too orange-like for my taste....but I like your burgundy comparison.
