Red Imperial?

I just bought this philo from a local shop and it’s tagged as Red Imperial. However, there are green leaves and one leaf is a combo of deep purple and green. Is it really Red Imperial or a Blushing Philodendron, or those are actually the same?

have the same one! Was told it was also a red imerial! But at times i see other ppl have the same philo and call theirs the “burgundy princess philo” but regardless The new growth comes in Red/deep purple then grows out to the deep/Emerald green! Super pretty!

If the new growth comes out very red Then i would say red imerial like mine but If comes in that deep purple I would say its the Burgundy princess philo!
