I purchased my Torch Red fuel rail covers from forum vendor RPI designs. I wanted to brighten up my engine bay and wanted a little pop contrast against my MSG paint.
If you're trying to match up the OEM Z06 red fuel rail covers, note that the Torch Red is a lot brighter and has a glossier finish. Below is a picture of my set up for reference. Good luck!

More than likely they're torch red.

there is a big difference between the Zo6 red molded in fuel rail covers, and
red fuel rail covers
and Torch red fuel rail covers.
Torch red is the factory color name
many vendors use factory paint codes to paint fuel rail covers.
the after market painted fuel rail covers and accessories are usually factory paint codes.
I originally did my fuel rail covers with a non factory red color...close to torch but not torch.
Then I felt a bit Nostalgic, so I did them in the Original Chevy orange that was used on 60's Chevy engine blocks.

My real question is, what's that screen/pierced-metal widget over the alternator?

As to the pierced-metal widget alternator cover, it's the ACC stainless steel cover powdercoated black from DD Mods.
A couple more shots...

The stock fuel rail covers look nothing like the torch red color on the body of the car. If you want to add torch red covers to the fluid tanks under the hood, that would be a great time to have a good body shop sand down and paint the stock fuel rail covers torch red. It would look great.
