Too easy, my friend. FoxFire "IS" red (although; technically a dark red, but still red in hue). 2006 MINI Cooper "PURPLE HAZE" is dark purple metallic. Last time I checked-- purple ain't red; it's purple.

Looking at photos to me the fox fire is closer to purple than red. Maybe it's bad eyes?

12 % of men are color blind. I'm not one of them, inspite of what my wife says.

Must be. Go see a FoxFire VX "in person" and then report back with your evaluation.

Good luck with finals!

I think you're wrong but I'm not a lawyer, please check with one.

RR, I fully agree. While reading this thread that color was going through my mind to suggest. I painted my old 914GT in a similar champagne gold (Acura's - 1993ish). LOVE that color. I know my next statement will get mixed reviews, but I think the whole VX would look good in champagne (cladding and all).

Then do cream and black leather with stainless steel trimmed dash!
Oh, wait... I just described a Mercury Mariner. LOL!

Foxfire is Maroon. Not Red. Not Purple. It's Maroon.

+1 - It's very much a blend of red and purple, and changes shades in different lighting.

Super color ideas guys. I wish I had some more VXs that needed paint and some more money. I think metalic red like whatever that Cadillac color is would be fantastic. Some of the nicer colors are 3 stage colors and that makes a repaint with no body work a minimum of $2000. I will do something different next time. Who wants to sell me a VX cheap that I can fix up?
