There's always red tape: Fizik Mircotex question

I've seen Fizik Microtex recommended here as a good quality, reasonably vintage-looking, and well-priced bar tape. I'm seeing two different reds available: 'bright red' (which actually looks like a deep wine red, and I think is what I want), and 'glossy red' which actually looks really bright, as well as being glossy. I know that color images on computer screens can be really deceptive, so I'm wondering if anyone has actually seen both of these in person.

I think the glossy might actually look more vintage, but I have a wine red piece of leather that I might use to recover the yellow turbo saddle, and I think the deeper, less shiny reds might harmonize better with the faded red paint of the Tommasini.
