I guess the other question is, how old is the shot?
I went back and looked at some of my old slides, or more importantly the scanned images.
Some of my old kodachromes look a little reddish. Not sure if they always did, but then again that was part of the kodachrome look, nice and warm, where as ektachrome was always blue and cold.
I guess the question is, how much leway do you have with the scanner adjustments and how much in an image editor.
I played a little more boosting saturation and then correcting WB (the change in saturation upset that a little) and got some pretty bright colors.
It may be a question more of post processing, I think the image is there, and while I am sure it frustrates you that it is hard to get the look you want right out of the scanner, you may actually want to think about it another way. You want the maximum image information out of the scanner, and go for the look in post processing,
Also remember that in terms of being "flat" the scanner may have a default low contrast for slides, knowing that slides are generally a high contrast medium.

this may be a dumb question but.
are all the shots like this or only this one.
The reason I ask is that this may be a result of shadows and the light reflected off what ever color surfaces were there providing light.
Normally in a shade shot I would have assumed a bluer tint, but if the surroundings have red in them, then the light reflected off the surroundings would influence things.
It was, however, easily correctable by using the tire sidewall as a white reference.
Although the image is dark I assume daylight since there is a bright brick wall showing in the top right,
what do you want it to look like?
