Here's my original Elgin. Maybe this will help.
 
There seams to be at least 2 differnt reds and im guessing im just going to have to take a shot in the dark for the darker red.

I love the bikes guys
 
NO! Stay with cherry red. it will eventually darken down (patina) to a fine cherry wine colour..... after many years, of aging. If you want to hurry it along, (Of course you do) add a few DROPS of black to temper the red.
 
I'm sitting looking at my bike.......I think those 2 colors would look great.
The white on mine is more like an ivory and the red looks pretty close - mine might be a little darker / bluer........but then I'm in pigments / color industry and been a color matcher for 35 years :)

Thats very helpful thankyou
 
Not too familiar with codes for paint; but once on a Rust-Oleum or distributors website, I saw some RGB-codes for some of their paints.
The colors are not the same when I use the codes on my computer; (Microsoft custom colors) perhaps depending on displays or drivers and printers.
For "Regal Red" their RGB code sequence was 144-34-37, which is more of an orangy fire truck red.
Rust-Oleum also has or had a "Cherry Red" but I did not record a RGB code for that one.
