Last year I got a few containers of wallflowers from a local nursery. They were sort of end of season stuff and quite neglected. I repotted them, and grew on until healthy, before finally planting out in the garden at the end of the year.
I now have very healthy yellow wallflowers. As nice as yellow wallflowers are, I really would like some reds and orange ones amongst them. The same thing happened when I sowed my own seeds-95% yellow.
How can I be sure of getting lots of reds/orange ones? Can anyone suggest a specific seed variety?

Only if you buy a specific strain.
Try Blood Red or Fire King, which I think are great and I team them with a dark purple / black Tulip.

Ok punk doc, thanks. I'll see if I can get them 3 varieties on fleabay-they seem to be just what I want. Can I ask you where you get yours from? It would be good if I can get all 3 of them from the same retailer.
Chiltern seeds.
