What is the batch size, expected og and fg? I would save the Vienna and use a bit of black malt or roast barley to give colour instead of it. I wouldn't use cascade in a 60 min boil as it can be a bit of a waste of a good hop. Not sure how dark you expect it but by eyeballing it it looks roughly red in a 23l batch. It's quite similar to my American red from last weekend but with less hops.
