Default Looking for Ruby Red interior spray paint match

Have a 1996 F150 with Ruby Red interior. Redid the dash pad and got a great match on the vinyl. Also made a double din but can't seem to find something close in SEM or Duplicolor.
anyone have any ideas on a good matching color?

Thanks

I have an 89 with very similar color interior, although I’m not sure if if was called ruby red but this color matched pretty well when I recolored some of the faded pieces in it …

Not sure if your reply was meant for me, but I have all that info and was looking for matching color for Ruby Red made by SEM or DupliColor. CODE = R)
I picked up a can of the DupliColor Burgundy as per the other response to try it out. Also bought a $35 can of SEM texture Coating in Flat black which might look good.
If the bezel doesn't look good in black, I'll overspray it with the Burgandy and at least have the textured finish underneath.

f none of those looks good, I'll just nail an old floor mat over the dash and be done with it.

Tried that Burgandy Red and it's still a little too "Red". I think Ford played with the Reds for this model and colors got darker from early to late 90s even though they carried the same 'R' code on the door. I've seen references to Red, Scarlet Red, Ruby Red, Dark Red all for the same code. So far I'm blown through 3 different reds and wasted about $60 bucks on cans and just going to use the SEM textured black spray which should be here tomorrow. If not, I might try some DupliColor BHY1801 but I'm hoping the black will look good.

Thanks for your replies

Already looking at the patio furniture cushions.

I heard of a man saying "You can have any color you want, as long as it's Black"
