I'm not sure which one though.
Ruby Woo and Russian Red seem like good candidates.

Here's an old pic of me wearing Russian Red, sorry about the poor quality it was taken with my handphone camera:
It's a very classic and dramatic color, people always stare at me when I wear it.
I'm not a fan of the matte formula though, it dries out my lips like crazy and I already have on lip balm underneath.
I think you need to take into consideration the lipstick formula that you're looking at, as well as the type of red that you want (brown-red, blue-red, pink-red, orange-red, purple-red, etc).
A more wearable "red" is On Hold cremesheen. It's actually more of a raspberry/coral color, but it does give the lips a kind of reddish tint that's very pretty. It's as wearable as say, VG Cyndi, if you get what I mean.
Lady Danger is a pretty hot orangey-red color that's very loud and retro looking, if you can pull it off. I think it might even go with Temperature Rising lip liner.
Alright, I just talked myself into B2M-ing for Lady Danger.
