Is Malaysian red Java fern actually red?

[IzabelB]

I was at my LFS picking up some plants and accidentally took home some Malaysian red Java fern, I thought it was normal Java fern. I didn’t know what it was so i looked it up and found that it’s not actually red colored. However . . . about a month later I found this new leaf!

It’s more orangey-brown than red but still very pretty. Is maylasian red Java fern actually red? If it is, that would be very exciting. I also find it interesting how the leaves are fork into three leaves at the top, all of them are like that. Can anyone explain this plant to me?
Thanks.

I don't have any experience with that particular plant, but if it's red you're looking for check out cardinalis. Leaves are quite red, and the undersides of the leaves are a deep purple. Easy to grow too.

That's normal. Microsorum pteropus "Malaysian Red" is a green and reddish brown variety. Those leaves you're seeing show up in especially good conditions...keep it up!
