Actually, red paint uses an iron salt for the colour, while yellow paint uses a titanium salt, so yellow is obviously lighter and hence faster than red

yellow may be lighter but scratch it and you will see the red undercoat, this also applies to the senna3 mode, which also uses red for a undercoat under its black.

So I must amit the unfinished red ones are lighter
