Antiheros - Election Day | Red Vinyl?

Going through my record collection and updating Discogs, I started obsessing thinking about the Antiheros' Election Day 7 inch.  I finally added a a purple copy and have pretty much come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a pink version.  Anyway, I started really looking at my orange and red copies and am seriously starting to wonder whether or not red is really red or just a dark orange.

Here is a photo of my red (left) and orange (right) copies.


Looks red to me, or does it? Here are the same two records again but this time held up to natural light.


Again, the "red" is on the left and orange on the right.  That looks dark orange to me.

My question, does anyone know for certain that this is supposed to be two different colors?  Or is this just a color variation similar to the light yellow copies of the 2nd press Gorilla Biscuits 7 inch or the pink copies of Misfits' Legacy of Brutality?  It's probably thin or crappy vinyl like the 2nd press Caroline Earth A.D. / Wolfs Blood that looks brown when held up to light.

Unless someone from GMM Records or Mark Noah chimes in, I guess we will never know.
