How about a darker red?  Try using some media, maybe an absorption or a
scattering with added absorption, with a completely transparent pigment and
a finish with some specular highlight and variable reflection.  That should
give a much more realistic result then simply having the surface colored red
(especially if volume is going to vary).  Remember that blood is pretty
dense in its red coloring so the media colors should be multiplied fairly
high.  It doesn't take much blood before the color drops to almost black,
wheras only thin smears produce that bright red.
