What Color Do These Look

I am making my wedding album and I am going through my photos and it is really bothering me that my bridesmaids dresses don't look the same color as they did in the store when they tried them on. I'm guessing it is because of the lighting. What color do you think these dresses look? Please give me your honest opinion. Thanks!

    They look red to me, they are lovely, the sunlight may be giving them a slight orange undertone.
  • They look orange to me, but maybe that’s the lighting?
  • Reddish orange. And the color is very pretty!
  • They're red-red which often photographs blaze orange...  Same for trying to get pictures of purple dresses, either the blue or the red is the dominant that comes through...

    I wish I would have realized it because it's making me really not like some of the photos with my bridesmaids in them. Had I realized this I would have gone with a different color red. I wanted a darker red, but my husband wanted the bright red. He likes very bright colors, but I like more toned down colors. I'm not a fan of orange at all so I don't like how they look orange because of the lighting.

    I think they look red, but with an orange-ish hue.  Though I notice the flowers in the bouquet look like a true red.

    Were these candids or did a photog take them?  If it's a professional photog, I would think they could adjust the color for you on some of the pics.  For candids, you might be able to do something like that with Photoshop.

    Though I must give the disclaimer that I know nothing about photography or Photoshop, lol.

    They are red, but like you said they have an orange-ish hue to them that really bothers me. It makes me want new bridesmaids photos which is so unrealistic. I wish I had picked a different color, but my husband was set on bright red whereas I wanted a darker red almost maroon or burgundy.
