I added more FeCl3 to a FeCl3 and 3KSCN mixture and it turned darker red what direction did equilibrium shift?

I'm stumped on this one, could someone please help?

Fe3+ + SCN- ----> [FeSCN]2+ (blood red)

Adding more Fe3+ ions makes the equilibrium try to reduce their concentration, by shifting to the right hand side.

Well im not really sure because i cant get the equation right now still, the red colouration came from Fe +3 ions so the side of the equation which favours the realese of these is the one.

hope i helped.
