This.
I used Paint.net but Paintshop or Gimp should work as well.
The settings really depend on the raw material, so you'll have to play around a bit untill it looks good (I have it easy as I use 65" 4K TV with really nice colors).
In this case I first darkened the image a bit, I think I used setting -10 or -20.
Then added color strenght (saturation) from setting of 100 up to 107.
Then changed the DPI and saved as JPEG.

Thank you both for the suggestions. I was at the point of being completely stuck especially since I am new to the scanning and editing part of it. I have a bunch to scan so I think I will try your idea using the TV, and see how i do.
Thanks Again - Amanda
