What is the ideal idle rpm?

Can someone please tell me what rpm my 1990 Accord LX should ideally be at when warm and idling?

Thanks in advance.

IIRC it should be 700 ±50

If it's still there, It should be printed on the underside of your hood on the service information sticker.

cold start up is always going to be a little higher, 700rpm when warm is perfect
