What the hell color is my /94 Lumina?

Okay obviously its bright shiney red.

The problem is, I can't match it to any available GM red paint, nor can I find out what it actually is.

The door sticker is worn blank, and the trunk sticker is cryptic and displays no color info.

Obviously someone knows what colors GM made in 1994. But I don't.

I am trying to paint the door I got from the wreckers to match the rest of the car.

So far I have tried "GM bright Red" (apparently there's at least two versions of this). and also "GM Victory Red".

The first resulted in a door that in sunlight looked a dull brown-red in contrast to the rest of the car. The car looked more blue/purple next to "GM bright Red".

The second at least looked RED, but was unfortunately a very significant shade darker than the car. The car now looks like a kind of (candy?) red thats very bright (seems to invoke the name Lumina...), while the door looks like a hearse.

My claim is that SOMEONE knows what color is this thing called "Lumina", and that it must exist under SOME idiotic name or formula number for repair purposes.
