Accurate reds has always been difficult to reproduce.

A painting like that will be using mainly iron oxide pigments such as the earth colours, and these are always difficult to reproduce with any three-primary system.

Including a grey card in the picture, or a grey step wedge, should help.

Simply mixing black and white acrylic paint will give a good neutral grey. A strip of card painted with such a mixture can be placed alongside the painting.
