Not what i expected or what photos show - Gideon Optics Alpha Red Dot Reflex Sights

I bought this optic for the red front lense to match a red and black firearm build.
After opening the box. The Gideon optic is not even remotely red as the images suggest. It looks smoked gray and I see no shades of red when looking at the lense. Where my Holosun i ordered with a red lense CAME WITH A RED LENSE just like the photos. I was led to believe I was getting one thing and either got a wrong product, or the photos of a red appearance when facing a Gideon Alpha is completely false advertising. The Gideon alpha lense is dark and transparent, not red like the photos show. Deceptive photos. Disappointed to say the least. This will not end up on the build it was bought for. Either returning or putting on a different firearm. The optic works. But its still not what the photo shows. I expected a dark red tinted lense.
