We went with a deep, dark red sample, but the paint looks pretty pink to me in the can. I painted over a 3'x3' area to test it with one coat and the color wasn't even close. I tried a second coat, and although it was darker, it still looked sort of pink to me (and it looks a shade of pink in the can).
I then decided to do another 3'x3' using grey primer first, then applied a decent coat. While darker still, it still doesn't match what we wanted. Moreover, it spreads like watery do-do, so I am looking for another brand to try.
I used Behr (sic?) in the laundry room and it worked out quite nice. I might try it again, but thought perhaps I would see if there were a consensus here among ATOT'rs
