This should help....use the tab at the top to find the 4runner color you liked...

Medium brown metallic is a red, right?

Mine is (or at least used to be) cardinal red. Over the years it's changed... now it's more of an orange-ish color...

I am pretty sure its the stock paint. I do not have the color code since I sold the truck but I was trying to figure it out on the link posted above. I'm thinking it is the Garnet Pearl but when my truck was waxed (first pic) it almost looks deeper burgundy than the pictures show.

Here is a better pic from when it was not so dirty if you want to compare.

Using that link I'm thinking Med Red Pearl?
One caveat: the guy who set that up did a really great job, but while the truck pictures provided are mostly accurate, it's not 100%.

Thats the two I am between and now Im starting to lean towards the med red pearl also..

EDIT: Now that I look at the chart a little closer med red pearl and cardinal red were the only ones available in 90 so it is definitely the medium red.

Now you did it- your 22re will get way worse fuel mileage

The pics don't look so good, with the truck clean and in the sun- it's spectacular, lots of comments.
