I think those are from different region than your classic bright orange lyretails. I've seen the ones at tsm in person and they are very dull looking but very healthy

Yes though if the differences in colour are dramatic it may not appeal to the aesthetics you may be looking for.

Yep, I had 2 different regions in my tank at one point and they got along fine. But you could definitely tell which were which.
