    Wait really red pigment is mainly rust? I’d imagine that would turn a orangish brown. Or brownish orange.

      It’s not mainly rust any more, they figured out a way to replicate the effect without using actual rust. It’s just pigment, and now red is probably cheaper because more people buy it because it’s traditional.
