Default Kiln strikng multi, dark multi???

hi all,
just wondering if there is a way to strike dark multi in the kiln. Right now my piece is just that redish colour, outside work, and was hoping to get more of the blue/greens. I know i should have struck it in the flame, but didn't. I'm hoping i can still do something with it in the kiln. I've already had it at 1125 for 30mins, then 1050 for a couple hours but nothing. Any suggestions?? can't find any info on this colour and kiln striking.
Thanks

Ash

The red comes from reduction. Work it in a more oxidizing flame to get blues and greens.

I agree with keeping it an oxidizing flame - I don't think I've ever gotten anything but blues/greens with it and I do kiln strike with just a 20 min spike to 1150 before I anneal at 1050.
