I just happened upon this thread, and eventhough it has been a month since the last entry, I couldn't resist adding my two cents.

I agree with using the cerulean blue to tone down the reds. I also like mixing cerulean and cadmium red light together with white for the whites of the eyes.

Another color that I like for toning down the reds is a little chromium oxide green. It has weak tinting strength which makes it great to temper those reds without taking over.
