Reds are odd since they can be so light dependent, but the red on my Kato ATSF E8/9 AB looks pretty good to me. Not far from a Chinese red, w/o too much black, it should fade to a orange red, so should have some yellow. Blue sky or sunset sky, or overcast all should have a different shade. I've had red Honda MC that faded with Arizona sun to orange red, like the early 70's Datsun 240Z, we had a 2000 Performance Red Mustang that looked all different shades, depending on the light. That is not too far, but the reds of most cars is not quite it. I see them here, ATSF red on the BNSF through Illinois, and I favor a orange red for good light without too much early morning sky.
