Ever think that maybe no one has one? Sorry that you are disappointed, but in the month ago you asked for help, I would think you would have done some trial and error for the color. Yes people can be color blind and you may be one of them, but to say that most men are color blind would be a false statement.

Burgundy is basically a mix of Red and Purple, with maybe a little brown rolled into it if you want it darker, but for the most part it is on the redder side of the spectrum.

Most Burgundy colors would be found in the automotive world, hence why you are seeing most in metallic, as the metallic shows off the darker color.

As far as Vallejo, there really is no one color that would represent Burgundy, out of the bottle, Model Color #814 Burnt Cadmium Red would probably be the closest, however to mix your own custom color, I would just play around with red, purple and maybe a bit of med. brown if you need it darker.

Quick Google images search for Burgundy came up with this:

https://www.google.ca/search?q=Burgundy&client=firefox-a&hs=Qjd&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:eek:fficial&channel=sb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=THsHVNXjE4jGggScpoKACA&ved=0CEUQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=959

Lots of examples there.
 
Check out minitaire and the new Vallejo game air ranges for airbrush, or any of the paints aimed at miniature painters for a better range of brighter colours. Might be easier than mixing your own.
