Change the ambient color of the red texture to the same shade of red. Then increase the ambience until you're happy with the way it looks.

You can also use a directed light parented to the object with a very quick fall-off. So you won't have to put more ambiance in your scene : this can cause unwanted side effects. :)

Turn off Self Shadows in the mat for that object?

Can't you just turn off shadows for that one item? You probably don't want to turn off cast shadows, but maybe self-shadow or receive shadow. Arleen
There are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.
