I know Paprika is the traditional finish for deviled eggs, but I've always used Old Bay Seasoning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Bay_Seasoning

Old Bay Seasoning is a blend of herbs and spices that is marketed in the
United States by McCormick & Company, and produced in Maryland. It is
produced in the Chesapeake Bay area where it was developed by German
immigrant Gustav Brunn in 1939,[1] and where the seasoning is very
popular to this day. At that time, crabs were so plentiful that bars in
Baltimore, Maryland, offered them free[citation needed] and salty
seasonings like Old Bay were created to encourage patrons to purchase
more beverages. Old Bay is just one of many crab seasonings created
during that era, yet it is one of only a few that survived. Notable
others are J.O. Spice and Baltimore Spice.

According to the ingredients list, the seasoning mix includes celery
salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and paprika. Other spices
are used, but are not specified.[2] It is regionally popular,
specifically in Maryland, the Mid-Atlantic States, the Southern States,
and parts of New England and the Gulf Coast.[3] Due to the strong
presence of the United States Navy in Maryland and Virginia, it is a
common fixture in galleys onboard navy ships.[citation needed]
Otherwise, it can be made at home, with instructions on its manufacture
readily available.[4]
