Default ember red vs fire red, how much different?

my bike is ember red sunglo. im looking at some fire red vented lowers on ebay. i was wondering if theres much of a difference between these 2 colors? i will be painting them this winter along with my inner fairing but i thought i might get the fire red to kinda match better than the black.

the Ember red has good bit more Orange shades than Fire red.

Looks pretty close, but pics and computer screens don't do colors much justice.

yeah thats the issue im having trying to decide. i might go up to hd to see if they have a paint sample book to look at. i was hoping since the lowers arent right beside something else it wont be so noticeable

I looked at getting some and painting them. Getting the Ember Red Sunglo right, like Harley paint, is not easy and the paint is expensive. Ended up buying them from Harley.

The Ember Red is a sun-glo which seems to have much more depth and metal flake in it.The Fire Red is a pearl,which doesn't seem to have as much pop to it.
