Should I color my hair red or orange?

Candy apple-red or neon orange (think Leeloo of Fifth Element fame).

I'm a natural red-head (ranging from strawberry blond to auburn depending on the time of year) with very fair, pinkish skin. I've dyed my hair a few times before but always a natural-looking color. I want to go a bit wild this time but I can't decide which would look best: red or orange.

    I think that the red might look better because I'm not a real fan of orange. I dyed my hair candy apple red in high school, and it looked really good at first, but it faded really fast to a rust color. Usually any color with red in it will fade faster because it has something to do with the red molecule(something about it being bigger? I can't remember XD). But anyways, just be sure to use color protector shampoo. You can also use dry shampoo to preserve the hair color longer(but you have to wash your hair after a few days still, it just makes it so that you can put it off longer by absorbing the oil).
