I  think it is fairly complicated and convaluted and the issue muddied by the intentional or unwitting crossbreeding of these tarantulas. Maybe it occurs in nature, I don't know.  Even within the RCF designation there seems to be variations on the extent of the "red"I have three G. rosea all described as RCF. One I bought as a 2"+ whose carapace is very pink, but whose legs seem to have red and pinkish "hairs"[ATTACH=full]62734[/ATTACH]Since then, I purchased two slings from Eresus Spider shop that were advertised as below but which are way too young to be sporting those colors just yet.
