You are better off painting the fondant instead of kneading it in.

watch how dark you color your frostings unless you get a kick out of red mouths or any other dark color LOL

I've done several things with red and it's hard getting a good deep red. But she's right, it does darken as it sits.
I've used an entire bottle of wilton red before. I did on that firetruck I did.

Wilton has a no taste red that you can use an entire bottle to do it. I use Americolor super red. It does alter the taste though.
Remember the red will get darker as it sets.
I did a cake that was a Little Einsteins Rocket. I colored my frosting almost red and then sprayed using the wilton color spray and it worked really well.
