If you want your red darker, don't add black, add it's complimentary color (on a color wheel). Red/green, yellow/purple, blue/orange. I'm an art teacher, I promise you this works. Really, every modeller should invest in a color wheel. You learn a lot about what colors look like and what you need to mix to get the color you want. Maybe it seems darker than in the bottle, but after it dries, particularly acrylics, it will lighten up. Also, make sure you're looking at the color under the same light. Color under incadescent bulbs looks a lot different that color outdoors. Color is fun and interesting. Just my 2 cents mike
