Orange tip?

Question

On my 28" spiral balance the tip looks more orange than red. The weight match's the red tip. Not sure what to do.

You have a red tip. Each different manufacturer likes to use a different shade of red, from orange to pink to cherry, but at the end of the day they're all considered "red" in the trade. Plus, your sash weight matches what we have for the red tip. That's more reliable than the color. Shades may change, but numbers never lie.
