I concur with John's sentiment that Ruby Crucis and Hind's Crimson star are the best carbon stars (as seen from here - at least). I haven't yet attempted to measure colour or brightness, but am always taken by the stark contrast between the blue/white of Mimosa and the deep red of its (apparent) neighbour.

Cheers,
Chris
