If you're going to do turqoise do the Project Mu shade
If you go with red, you can always get the limited edition red DPE caps
Red is a classic look and is overdone because it looks good. I get the whole be different opinion but sometimes it doesn't work out. Doing a different shade of red is a good option (which is what I think you are considering)
Oh and please (sorry Matt) DON'T paint the center caps turquoise

^This 'ish.
Paint the center caps turquoise as well to tie it in
I think the gold looks great on the Desert platinum.
Honestly, I think Red is going to stand out, look out of place, I really, really think it will look aweful. You mentioned you were more comfortable with red because you think it would be more low key (rough quote) than turquoise, but I very, very strongly disagree.
The red will stand out like a sore thumb. At least Turquoise would probably suit the colour scheme.

But I do agree not to overdo the turquoise by painting the center caps as well.

On the heels of MPG35's question, I have one I'm pining over. Do I wrap this in CF? I tried paint but the minor imperfections of the mould job show up hard, so it's either meticulously finish the moulding until it's perfect, or wrap it in some vinyl or CF.
Please disregard the areas that look scabby, that's just peeled off paint because I chipped it away for a final (if I wrap it) bondo coat.
Rough idea what it could look like using 3M Dinoc Look-a-like CF Vinyl
