Normal coloring?

My axolotls had babies, and all but 5 have been sold.
One of the ones I have kept for myself seems to have some odd coloring? Or perhaps its normal.

She seems to be albino (pink) and also golden (yellow/orange). I have seen some topics of some turning orange as they get older, but mine is only 3 months old, and its hard to tell except when i put him or her in the light. He/she seems to have a pink back/sides along with most of her head, but there are orange speckles on her and perhaps a little solid orange on her head. And i have trouble telling if the tail and legs are orange or pink.

Anyways, is this a normal coloring? I am not sure if i could get a good picture, or else i would've just posted it rather than trying to describe it lol. For awhile I could never tell if it was pink or orange, until finally i realized why! :D

If a tank light is shown on her, she seems obviously pink with orange speckles. But just in regular room lighting, seems more orange.
