diehrd,
I never said welcome to Dave's, so... Welcome to Dave's. I think its awesome to see such a young person interested in plants the way you are! Any help I can give, just let me know, but Clare and Detrick are the experts here.
I do not know if the way you have your plant facing is effecting the color. I do know that reds will lose their color, turn more orangish/yellow even fading to a faint pink, as the temperatures and amount of light they get daily decreases. Leave it in its position and see what happens, i would be interested to see if you have a darker color on the side facing the window.
This picture was taken on 11-2-07 and is a beautiful bright red. Still had plenty of heat and the days were fairly long.
