I like commercial red the best. It looks very similar to Coca-Cola red, the color that Coke used to paint their trucks. I'm not sure that there was actually a paint color with that name but it was pretty common to hear someone say their car or truck was C.C. red.

I like them both. The swift red does have a lot of orange tint to it though.

I vote Commercial Red. It's a true red whereas Swift Red is closer to orange.
