Color dye on Federal GM Match primers

[TackDriver284]

It's been so many years since I last used Federal Gold Medal Match primers, I could remember seeing purple dye on the anvil on those primers. I have always used that brand until they were hard to obtain years ago. I just started using the new Federal GM primers again, the boxes are different from the older boxes. I have noticed that there are red dye on the anvil on the Fed 210M and the standard gold color on the 205 GM Match instead of the old purple dye. Is there a discrepancy or is it the new colors they have been using nowadays, its just been a long time since I used them. I have been using the CCI BR2, BR4 and CCI450 Magnums lately.
