hoyas that get red leaves

So there are a few hoyas that get reddish or purplish or pinkish leaves when they are young and then they mature to green. I know the color depends on the amount of light the plant gets too.....but it you get a hoya with green leaves (thinking KW, KP, pubicalyx) will leaves already on the plant go purplish/reddish/pinkish with higher amounts of light? Or is this from too much light? The reason I am asking is I got what I think is a hoya pubicalyx "pink silver". but now that I have brought it home and put it under much more light, the leaves are reddening....so I am thinking maybe a hoya pubicalyx "chimera" or "RHP", but I haven't seen any new growth yet, just some of the younger current growth on it is going reddish. Am I burning the plant, all my other hoyas are doing okay, but the pubicalyx is new to me.

Thanks everyone

Tracy
