"Close" to red in automotive paint

[Gone in 60]

So, my wife weighed in on my idea and told me it would be a mistake. She has studied art, and has a very good eye for such things. Here's her semi-professional evaluation:

"If you plan to tie visual elements together based on color, those elements should be in fairly close proximity to each other. The red gas tank is toward the front of the bike. Your trunk is at the back of the bike, and is black with silver trim. The silver trim picks up the silver side panels and grab rails, which are on the back half of the bike, and all of these elements compliment each other. Adding more red to the trunk would attempt to tie two elements at opposite ends of the bike together, and after spending a lot of time and effort, and knowing you, sanding it off and repainting it six times until you determine that it's "perfect", you would look at the result and think it sucks, and curse yourself for doing it in the first place. Remember when you did something very similar to your last truck, then you hated it so much that you sold the truck? This would be similar. Leave it alone."

I stared at it for 20 minutes, and said "yup, she's probably right."
