What color is my 330?

It's a 1987 330, which the seller described as sunburst. It seems darker than most Fireglo's I've seen. Is this Autumnglo? Amber Fireglo? Or just faded or a variation of the usual Fireglo? I'm a Ric novice but catching up as fast as I can.
Here are the poor photos I took:

This is within the normal color range of aged FG.

It's twenty years old - It's just a Fireglo that has ambered nicely.

I agree, it's Fireglo with 19 years of aging.

I think it is a blueburst! (I must get my monitor fixed!).

Your monitor's OK, Peter. Guinness tends to alter your perceptions!!

'80s fireglo is a bit darker than from other periods, especially early '80s fireglo.

Early '80s FG is gorgeous when it ages. My li'l ES-16 is much richer and mellower than the original FG on my '66 450/12...

My 1982 330 was once a gorgeously darkly-aged fireglo--looked almost Autumnglo....too bad it had some serious issues with finish checking.
Not that I'm overly sad; it's now an awesome Purpleburst!
Today I stumbled upon a picture of that guitar before its transformation, and it's almost hard to believe it is the same one, LOL!
