It depends on whether you want the deep red to have the same saturation as the original red you are using. If so, then add the complementary color. If you want a less saturated red, add black, dark gray, or brown.

I'd add dark blue and/or dark brown (ultramarine blue or burnt umber, if that helps). I personally don't like to add black because it really desaturates the color.

Add black or brown depending on how dark you want it. Experiment with it until you find the darken red you're looking for.
