DupliColor makes a color called Dark Garnet Red Pearl......... Not sure it's exactly what you want, here's how it looks.

They have or had a GM color that was way darker. I have to see if I still have a can around.

With DupliColor, the color of the primer will greatly affect the final color! Those Perfect Match paints are pretty thin.........

I wonder if you're thinking of Cherry Black metallic (or a similar name) used on the Impala SS from the 90s.  More details (like the actual name  and color code) should be available on one of the color matching websites.  My friend has one of those cars and it looked really good in that color.

This is the old Testors Black Cherry lacquer #28113 (sorry for the bad pic).  It was marketed as the Impala SS color.

Yeah, that's it. There is also of course the actual automotive touch-up paint of the same color (or sold by Splash Color, MCW, or other similar vendors providing actual automotive coatings to the hobby market).
