Color deepens in MMF the longer it sits. Have you ever put it in a plastic bag and left it on the counter for a few days? You'll notice, the bottom of the bag, where the MMF was sitting on the counter is a darker color.
What you want to do is make your MMF, let it sit overnight in a plastic bag. The next night, add more color, and keep kneeding. Do it a few nights in a row and you should have a nice deep red color.
HTH!

seriouscakes has a video on youtube showing how she makes her bright bold red.
she uses orange, rose, and no-taste red.
