whats the difference?

i have seen lots of pics of both and a few of both in person,

red's seem to have busy patterns and sometimes intense blushings, while axanthics have more normal (or what ever the combo's patterns are) patterns.

is there a difference in how one holds color?
is there actual red?
im still learning about axanthics and actually want a red. but dont know what to look for. any input would be helpful.
