Default Closest match to "Honda red"

That's a hard question because Honda has used a lot of different shades of red for their off-road machines. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about though. It's a 1986 ATC 250R.

This particular red lacks the orangish look some of their reds had. It's basically just a true red. I think they call it "passion red" but I'm not 100% certain of that.

So does anyone have a suggestion for what will match this as closely as possible?

Cool Re: Closest match to "Honda red"

Honda Red, better known as Winning Red is the color Honda uses across the spectrum of vehicles and products. Alot of what you are gonna see with the older bikes, quads, etc, is a orangish red, which is caused by U.V. over the years sucking the life out of the once deeper red color.

I have a cbr 954rr of this color, I had my helmet painted to match, but never asked how he did it. I will contact the person who did the painting and see what I can come up with.
