So I just went and checked....The yellow one shown here is def. darker than than my buffs (and I have 3 that are this darker shade with the same wing pattern, and 3 buffs) , which made me think red.

well you see buff are ewh/ewh, Co/Co, Di/Di, Mh/Mh but there are many shades of BUFF, WHY? well some BUFF are heterozygous to Di(Dilute) a pheomelanin(red) Diluter Di/di+ and they will be darker buff,

some Buffs are Homizygous to Di/Di and you will have light Buff color

some don´t have the Di(Dilute) gen and will look red, because of the Mh(Mahogany) Pheomelanin(red) enhanser.....
