Just my 2c.
By the way, I think as long as I can remember, red has been my favorite color. Has to be Red/White/Blue, for any kid growing up in my era, right? So Blue seemed to me to be too calm, and Red seemed to be the more aggressive color. Maybe that is why, but...
Anyway, red wagon, red bicycle, red tractors, red sweaters, red heads, the red baron, red cars, etc. "when I get old I'm going to wear a red hat, red shoes, and pee on my neighbors yellow flowers"

In re'gards' to Porsche there is a difference between Guards red and India red. Perhaps in those Brit uniforms but no color match with Porsche. BTW: If painting or touch-up beware of a PPG paint reseller and color codes... better off just bringing a gas cap for exact color scan. First hand experience and after they convinced me, will tell you the shade is different...arghh
