There are lots and lots of sources of information, which require that you
spend time learning
about the mixes that make colors and how the mixes are affected by the
base
glass.
You haven't even told us what base glass you want to do this with.
Red is the hardest color to make and to make behave when you use it.
People who succeed may build an entire company or product line around it -
for example Blenko's cranberry.
If a perfectly good red mix is mishandled, you end up with kind a muddy
brown called liver.
