If you want really tight control over the way the colors appear, you can alter
the ratio between scattering and absorption by reducing the extinction and
including an absorption component to compensate.  Something like:

media{
  #local Thickness = 1/80;
    absorption color rgb <1.0, 0.8, 0.8> * Thickness
    scattering {
     1, color rgb <1, 1, 1> * Thickness
     extinction 0.5
    }
}


This scatters all colors equally, but absorbs more red.  You can try several
variations until you find one that produces the colors you desire.  I would also
increase the amount of samples to higher than the default.
