Do the colors vary significantly between paphs and phrags? Even though I'm new to the hobby I haven't seen any paphs with that kind of color.

Phrags tend to be bigger and taller and more leafy than phals. Phrags are
mainly from Peru and Southern America whereas Paphs usually come from the Far East. The colours vary slightly I suppose, you can quite often see pure white Paphs but in Phrags this is less common. To be honest though I have not seen a bright red Paphiopedilum such as this phrag so yes I guess the colours do sometimes tend to be limited to either or but not always. Pink is a very common colour for both as is green.
Hope that helps - I am far from being an expert so maybe someone else might be able to add something further but a rule of thumb is if you have a lot of space available then get a Phrag if space is limited get a Paph!
