100% RED LED!

White will not work very well as LEDs do not emit all wave lengths of light unless designed to. A white LED behind a red lens won't be safely visible.

makes sense. i just based my recommendations from the regular bulbs on stock taillights.

i use white LEDs on my 3rd brake lights, and though they don't turn pinkish and look really good (like stock camry 3rd brakelights), im now thinking if i shouldve tried the reds. dang!

You always want to match the LED to the color of the lense. Red for red, amber for amber, white for clear or white. For my headlights, fogs and soon reverse I went with 6000k white to match the HIDs.
