Need help with custom paint - "Black Cherry" or similar?

Hi Guys,

I need a hand in the area of auto paint colors. I plan to repaint my 300ZXTT, which is currently in its original black "Onyx - nissan code GL1", which is a non-metallic black.

I want to try something a little more unique, but not straying too far from BLACK. I had something in mind but not sure it exists. The best I can describe it as is "black cherry". I'm thinking something that is black but with a bit of a hint of red, maybe some red metallic flake or something. But I don't want the car to end up being purple, or red, or a cherry red, or a burgandy or anything like that. Do you know what I mean when I say black with a hint of red?

One of the reasons I don't want to stray too far from black is I've already got a bit of a color contrast theme going. With my black Z, I have red highlights everywhere... from my Stoptech big brake calipers, to my silicon hoses and hose couplers in the engine bay, badging, leather stitching etc.

Any suggestions for what I should look for in a custom paint color that will meet my needs would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jason
