I have always thought of saffron as the yellow colour on linen - so your less red colour is actually more saffron like - though it is usually a mustardy red colour on wool kilts - which I have assumed is not from 'real' saffron but just what is accepted as a colour called saffron.

To make it redder I'd try Cool Aid.

It is quick, cheap and easy and can be repeated if it fades or washes out.

It is used a lot by knitters making socks or tye dyeing felt bags, so there should be a lot of information about it around on the interweb.
