Copper is the only metal I know of that has a naturally reddish lustre, though not truly red, you could more consider the color of copper to have a more of a truly tannish, orange-without-the-neon or perhaps you could call it plain brown. There are no red metals, the densest metal osmodium has a bluish lustre, the other metals are either white or yellow.
