Right now I'm trying the Old Holland Alizarin Crimson Lake Extra, and finding it very nice for duplicating the shade of deep red paint on our hallway walls. (I'm painting a figurative interior view in our house.) For the light areas, I mixed it with white and venetian red and a little ultramarine. For the shadow areas, I mixed it with burnt umber, ultramarine, cad orange, and sometimes a little ivory black. Very rich and satisfying! I'm planning on also trying the Vasari color for comparison.
