I know what you mean!
I love true red lips on me, but on my NW15 complexion, the dark reds can start looking fairly scary easily.
Of course, everyone is different, and you may not like this at all, but I've found that a way to soften a dark lip color is to put a little clear gloss + shimmer over it.
I like MAC "Lustrewhite" for the gloss, and these "Pure Shimmers" are my favorite shimmer products ever:
Natural mineral based powder cosmetics and skincare. - Specialty Eye Colors
Scroll almost all the way down, to see the "Pure Shimmers."
Needless to say, if you pile even these on too heavily, the effect can go over the top, but I find it pretty easy to achieve a softly shimmery effect that's especially nice over a deep color.
