I am looking to make red hair but am having trouble producing a nice, rich red color. Have any of you made red fondant hair and care to share what colors you used? Thanks!

Since it’s so hard to get a vibrant red without adding a huge amount of coloring, I usuallly just start with Satin Ice red and then add a smidge of brown depending on what kind of red I want. I also usually buy blue and black fondant already colored for the same reasons...
