Red candy cane: any such thing?

[pseudorand]

I'm looking for a red candy cane, but my LFS told me there's no such thing. I said I'd seen pictures (like the one I linked), but they said they are likely just lighting. Does anyone have a candy cane in a color other than the common green/yellow? Do you have to have it under very blue light to make it look that way?

I'm no expert on candy canes, but my son loves them and grabs a frag whenever he sees one he doesn't already have. All of the "red" candy canes he has are really more of a dark maroon-ish color and only look red under certain lighting. Maybe there are real reds, but I've not seen them IRL.

I got these from Aqua SD. I thought they were going to be purple but they are more maroon like in the link you provided.

I won't say they don't exist, but in my 30 years of coral shopping I've never seen one. Most are as others stated, closer to maroon.

Dark maroon is close enough and proves my LFS wrong. Why are LFSs so full of BS?

These orange ones also look cool:

That is a really hard color to get. Mine looked slightly orange when I bought them but the larger the heads get the softer the color turns.

Not that hard at all actually. The pic is of a "cursed candy cane" I got from the TSA black friday sale. It's more burgundy than red, but it will look awesome in my candy cane garden after QT.

I meant that orange color. Mine started orange and as they grew faded bad . But they were also SUPER unhealthy at the LFS when I bought them.

Striped candy canes are pretty cool. They seem to be purple/red striped with a green center? I like em!

I can never find this color. I have krypto canes and my white ones. I can never find this color.

Well crud. Mine doesn't have the stripes. Now I need more candy canes.
