Red hair dye for light hair?

Ok so my natural colour is strawberry blonde and I want to dye it a darker red. I did it with some nice n easy a year ago and loved it (took ages to completely fade though) but I can't find the shade anymore. Everything I find seems to be too gingery and too close to what I am now - or bright red. Can anyone recomend any particular hair colourants that go well with light hair (all the examples for red hair are shown with brown hair) and aren't too shocking?
