I think your best bet is to go to your local beauty supply store and find a red that says it has a true red base (not red-orange or red-violet). Box dyes never say what the base color is. I think the professional line of L'Oreal Preference has a Mega-Red or Power-Red (I forget) sub-line.

If you just want to refresh red hair, try a veggie dye like Special Effects or Manic Panic, and only leave it on for ten minutes or so (or mix it with your conditioner).

Have always highlighted my dishwater blonde hair. My natural haircolor is now pretty dark and I have started coloring my hair red, prefer true reds, not orange tones, nor burgundys. I would like to add drama to the hair, especially in the crown, around the face.

Currently have an allover color, garnia, bright auburn blonde.

I am pretty fair skinned, pink undertones, no freckles, gray-green eyes.

Any ideas?
