Jewel cichlid not red?

I've had my jewel for about 3 months and he/she changes colours soooo much. Everyday it's different colour combinations but she is never the bright red like most jewel cichlids. She hasn't grown at all since ive had her so I'm assuming she's at her max size but she's only about 3inches long. Her colours always stay closer to orange or brown with blue or purple sparkles depending on the day. Will she ever turn bright red or is this just her colour?

    Ooh I know this :D...depending on the fish envoirnment (spell check) they will change color...for instance my rainbow fish turned black when I put it in the tank! Then I added a red ornament then it lightened to a pinkish color! Let me know if this helps!
