Default orange clio rods

I have some clio rods that are orange, My last batch were more pinky purple.
Has anyone noticed a difference in how to work them?

No photo, just the description of the Clio rods. Orange tint rod vs pinky purple rod. Both transparent.

istandalone24'7, interesting. Well I have 1/2 lb of the orange one and am hoping I like it.
I did check out the clio thread from way back and there was was mention of a green batch and a pinky purple batch but no orange batch. Anyone have any experience with the orange tinted one?

Could they be Clio Dark? The rods look orange on the website. I don't have any here, nor used it. Just ordered some to try though.

My Clio Dark rods are not orange, they are much darker.

Thanks Kathy.
My rods are labeled Clio RS. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm guessing RS is for reducing and striking, but don't really know for sure.

Not necessarily. I just mark mine that way if I'm being organized, so it popped into my mind
