Does the color depend on lighting/nutrients/watering/humidity/etc...??? Or is it completely dependent on genetics? Just asking

Tin,
If you keep your plant in a cooler climate, then the flowers tend to be as red as they can achieve. The red intensity will only go so far on a specific plant... 
I don't think water is one of the red factors, because this species needs ample amounts of water at almost all times...

Thank Pat. That helps. Temperature, I should have known.
