Color is very subjective. I've said this before; what you think is a
beautiful color combination, I may hate. Had a friend who bought a new chevy
years ago; had to special order the color combonation; red with blue
interior. Or was it the other way  around; doesn't matter. Most of us would
retch at that combination, but he thought it fine. Had to pay a heafty down
payment; dealer didn't want to get stuck with a car he couldn't sell.
Yea, red and maroon don't work.
