I would suggest that if possible, see the animal in person before you buy. This way you can avoid spending good $$$ and getting disappointed.

I have purchase 2 "red" phase hog last year, and when i get the hogs, they are brown wiht no hint of red. Which i end up selling them for much less than i paid.

Last month i purchase 2 allegedly "extreme reds" produced by Justin @ ExtremeHog.com. I did not get them directly from Justin. They are actually from 2 different sellers. These last 2 i just got does have some red, but i cannot label them as "extreme reds". The male is about 50grams and and the female is around 12grams. They are still kinda young, so hopefully they will color up a lot more. I personally will not purchase another "red" hog without seeing it in person.

Here is a pic of the male "Extreme Red". I also find that the pics come out nicer/redder than it really is in person. See how "red" it is in the pic? Well, i can tell you that in person, the hog looks nothing like the pic. I took the pic with a point and shoot camera under indirect sunlight. I would say most of the spots, are brownish. This is right after a shed.
