I bet it is dendrobium Velvet Melody "Winter Wine".
I love that one. Your picture is nice but I know it looks REALLY nice in person.

No the leaves are about the usual colour I would expect for this sort of Den. I've seen quite a few online that look similar.
I really love this one, it was my favorite but I could tell when I bought it that it was not very stable in the pot so was worried about it's roots, I bought the second one because I couldn't decide between the one with the prettier flowers and the one that might have a better long term survival chance... so I got both

I like growing them in Lecca but usually not S/H. These are new so came in bark, but I repotted the purple straight away (as I said above it was not stable in the pot and I was worried about the roots). I was presently surprised that the roots were not as bad as I feared. The white/pink one is still in bark but I'll probably repot it when it has finished flowering.
