Color of 1957 Packard Clipper Oil Canister?

[StudeMichael]

I bought an oil filter decal kit from S.I. and a fram spin on for the partial flow on my 1957 Packard Clipper. S.I. says to paint it red. Does anyone know what the correct factory red color is? Is a darker red or a bright red?

Should be the same color as the 1957 Studebaker canister. Anyone know what shade of red Studebakers had?

Very deep (dark) Red, but not any blue (purple) in other words not Maroon or Plum, just dark.
