I was expecting a more deep red, instead it is more a burnt orange look on the top half of the handle.. is this to be expected?

I can post a picture in a couple hours in case others don't know what I mean, it just doesn't seem the handle color matches the pictures I have seen online.

When I first started to think of getting a Vie-Long, I also thought that it would be more to the red side.
It is actually more brick red - brown...still a very attractive brush IMHO.

Mine is a red that has a lot of brown in it and looks just like the one pictured above.

web photos are color inaccurate,I'm sure your brush is the same as the rest of ours.

Like the others have said, it's normal and still a nice looking color. The Black/Translucent, White/Translucent & Silver/Translucent look great as well... very tempting indeed.
