Hey there, nice combo, look very similar to these, see pic below...
The reason I mention is as follows
As originals were around £60 - £70 I bought these at around £6 from a UK supplier, although I feel they are of Chinese origin.
They are 2 or 3 shades lights that OEM, A lighter red, after a few washes ( with gentle products ) that fade to pink and ultimately clear as the colour vanishes altogether.
I ended up buying a set of originals at a much higher price, but they are RED and have not faded one bit the last few weeks.
Anyhow, that's my experience, hopefully, yours is different and more positive.
Good luck
