Red = Toyota for sure = FRS.
Here's a link to the article about how Firestorm was created....why they were looking at that for inspiration...I don't know.

Personally I like to think of it as more of a Toyota red since they have been using that shade of red for their logos forever.
On the BRZ the black contrast parts somehow does suit the Red color as much. I think the BRZ trim pieces are too big for the Red contrast. The FRS seems more muted and appropriately shaped.
Of course Subaru has been using blue as well for their logo...so naturally blue looks great on the BRZ.
