Hi Alex quite an exceptional pen all round.
I believe the burl is Red Mallee Brown Mallee is a different colour altogether, I hasten to say Red is getting harder to find and fetches a premium over here.
Red is also more subject to splits,faults and harder and heavier than Brown. If your background is indeed blue if not your pen may have a colour shift that makes it appear darker so if I am wrong please forgive my assessment, very familiar with Mallee Burl, love it.
Kind regards Peter.
