Anniversary red is the 2003 C5 color for the 50th anniversary cars so it isn't fair to have in the running since the question was about the 2005-2008 C6. The Precision red was discontinuted in November of 2004 and was replaced with Victory red. The Precision red is not as dark as it appears in that color panel (I have one) it is likely caused by the fact that the Precision red is a non-metallic color. The Monterey red is likely the "darkest" color of the bunch, it takes on a very burgundy color.

In terms of the color plates above the CRM should fall right in between the Magnetic Red and the Monterey Red. Here are a couple of photos originally posted by Dave at Kerbeck to illustrate.

I have a 2005 precision red coupe. They only made
around 1200 in this color before they discontinued
this color. When I went to order some touch up paint
the dealer said that it is officially cobalt red.
