Recently got this philodendron, I believe it’s a ring of fire, but its bottom leaf looks pink variegated. Any ideas on what it is?

totally normal for ring of fire philodendrons! newer growth and stems can be pink, even the varigation can appear pink due to all sorts of factors.

Yea it’s normal, my new leaves start off pretty pink and will fade to a cream color
