Do Golden MElons or Golden RedMElons turn red (as Red MElons) when adult?

If I am not mistaken, I have seen several discus pictures that at first looked like they were Red Melons but were in fact Golden Melons or Golden Red Melons. IS this just another name for the same strain

Does anyone here have a picture of adult Golden MElons or Golden Red MElon?

Thanks!

Here's two pics of some of my gold mellons. They range in colors of red orange and yellow. Mine actually change colors as they mature. I feed mine bloodworms, Al's beefheart mix, flakes and 1mm NLS pellets. The lightness in the breeder female's face is due to the light reflection. Her face is yellow. If you feed them tetra color bits they'll turn more red due to the color enhancers in those bits. I think gold mellons refers to the pigeon base in their lineage. Someone else I'm sure can be more specific with red vs. gold. I LOVE EM !!
