[Healeys] Carmine Red vs Reno red

[Chris Scholz]

I cannot find a paint code for Reno red. I picked out a maroon and it looked poor with OEW. I would like to find the exact color for Reno red and paint a sample panel against OEW. Does anyone have an idea on the code for Reno red?  It is more rare.
