Have you tried adding a bit of cocoa to the mix - it will darken up the icing - just add a bit at a time tho... is hard to go backwards!, then add more red - that will take away the "pink" tinge you have.

sometimes a teeny tiny bit of orange adds a bit of an edge to red once you are close to the red that you like.

Hope this helps a bit.
