I have no experience of working in CMYK, and even
less of specifying colours in RGB and then mapping
them to CMYK ... Given that this particular red
is specified as :
\font \whatever = "Palatino Linotype": color=FF0000
which then gets re-written in TeX as :
\whatever (macro) -> \font:whatever \modemagic \special {color push cmyk 0.0 1.0 1.0 0.0}
how would you suggest re-writing "color=FF0000" to
achieve a darker CMYK red as you suggest. The algorithm
on which the code is based is at :

I am afraid that Thai-An is not yet in the same league as
La Tour d'Argent, or even Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saison --
lamination (tri-fold, gatefold) is the order of the day.

You mean there's no true white ink in the CMYK process ? Useless !

A bit late for that, but as they failed to deliver on schedule
I am hoping for a complimentary batch later on ...
