Great under show room lights, but under cloudy skies or dirty, the grey looks dull - too dull for a Brera IMO. Black is great but high maintenance - are you willing to put in the cleaning time or is she perhaps going to be garaged or low mileage?

If not then red I guess. However, I would say that having seen it in the flesh, 8C red is INFINITELY nicer than Alfa red. I can't communicate how much nicer a colour is - you need to see it in the metal. Would definitely suit a Brera. I would have a word with your dealer as I am sure you can get a custom colour done and it's not that much pricier I think. Maybe they won't officially give you the exact 8C red but I bet they'd give you something virtually identical and not call it 8C red!

Otherwise consider Rubino red - it's darker but lovely in the flesh.
