Default DIY door panels...what kind of fabric?

I have a pair of red sparco torinos in my 6th gen coupe and I want to redo the door panels and center armrest. For those who have done it before, what's the closest to the "CTR" red color? Name of fabric store and name of fabric would be really helpful. Thanks.

The fabric I found was fairly thin (rough by touch) , but it's held up for over 2 years now , and when it gets worn I'll just replace . It's a cheap diy , but well worth it..........
