Ok maybe there is something I am missing, but I can't seem to get the right color red. It just looks bright pink. I am trying to get a nice bright red for pointsetas. So I have to just keep puring in the coloring, or is there a trick that I don't know??
Options:
Once you have a nice dark pink colour, let it sit for a few hours... the colour will develop and darken.
Try Christmas red or red red (rather than no-taste red)
Americolour reds are much better than Wilton
Airbrushing the colour over your item works really well
Also you can use pink to make deep pink, then use the red to make the pink red. You use less red that away. 
I know your problem well had the same thing happen to me over the weekend with some cupcakes that I was icing, used the red red and all I got was pink. I appreciate the tips to guys. Thanks.
It might take a couple of days to get your red. Once you get the color red, just make sure to always keep some frozen. I just simply add any extra white icing to my frozen red and just add a small amount of red and you're set. Also, I do the same for black.
Americolor is the best!!!!

I've been doing that too with black... I hate making black icing and it rare that I need a lot of it so I keep some on ice! I may have to start with the red also. I think I have a Spiderman cake or two in my near future
