There's a nice red color from Lexus, it's called ruby red pearl or something like that. You can find it on the IS350

Yeah I agree, Championship White is good.

You could go with Electron Blue Pearl (B-95P)

Never seen an EK Hatchback in that Color....

Oh and My personal Favorite:
Rio Yellow Pearl

It's from an S2k and I was going to paint my 4th gen Prelude that color anyway...
