Default Anyone have pictures of a maroon 944?

Ok, I will by painting my car myself soon, and I have it down to 3 colors.
Silver
Black
Or maroon

Now, I know what 944's look like in black and silver. And I think I actually prefer silver between those two.
But I have never seen a maroon 944 (the maroon would match my engine) and I was wondering how well that color would bring out the lines of the car.

Also thinking about a REALLY dark red. So it looks kind of black.
Or maybe mixing red in with the silver to give it a tinted look. But, I don't think I'm good enough with paint for that.

I know I have made a few threads about paint colors in the past, but now it's time to do it. I just can't decide...

Anyone have an opinion?

Thanks
-Brett

If pictures can be found, do something different. Black and Silver are done a lot, and i enjoy seeing cars in different and more rare colors.

I don't want to go super crazy. My engine is maroon and black, and the hoses and wires are red.

I like both colors.
I was thinking more towards the red end of the spectrum.

Porsche used a color called Cherry Rot on the 80's-90's model 911/930's IIRC, was darker than Guards, but still not quite Maroon. Have not seen many in this color. I'd look into that.

EDIT: tried to google some pics but only found this one of an 07 Cayman. Color is similar, the lighting in the picture makes it look horrible IMO. The 80-90's color is a bit deeper, with less shine.
