To begin with, don't think you are going to achieve that color on the box--that's all marketing. The highlighted parts of your hair no longer have your natural underlying pigments, red. What color are your highlights? If they are pale yellow, then yellow is all that remains and yellow plus red equal a nice bright orange color. In order to get those highlights to look okay, you'd have to do a tint back on those sections.
I'm not sure what level Intense Auburn is, but if your hair is naturally dark brown, I'd be sure you only dye your hair up to two shades lighter or you'll end up with some pretty brassy hair.
I have a feeling you might be able to get a nice Auburn color just by using a neutral shade. Underlying tones for dark brown are--red/brown. So a neutral shade in a light brown may give you what you want. Also a ash may leave you warm enough for you to like it. But you must strand test prior to deciding what color your hair will TURN out looking like. It's impossible to determine without a strand test.
Look at Miss Clairol...you won't want to go any lighter than a light brown tone: for a burgundy try one of these:

I'm only guessing here, you'd have to strand test to be sure. Also, don't forget you will have to do a tint back, add the red, and gold back to your highlighted hair prior to redying. Good luck and I hope this helps.
