The ''Red'' color of the Sixties Bowtie was more of a Tomato red than Crayola Red. Redder than Chevy Engine Orange or Hugger Orange but not as red as fresh blood. [The same color was used on the cover of the '67 Chevy Truck Owners Manual.]
Your new paint looks pretty much like they did when brand new. [At least as far as one can tell on a computer. In person, in full sunlight, it may be more obvious.]
Red is a color that tends to fade from Sun exposure.
Keep what you got and move on. If it bugs you, use the same color on your other badges, so they all match.
