The truth is that both are actually red/orange.
Spanish rice is also made with tomato sauce or paste.
Mexican version has cumin, bell pepper, onions, and chicken stock
whereas the Spanish version does not add cumin but insteads has
saffron. Saffron turns the rice a red/orange color.
For yellow rice, use turmeric.
For green rice, use dill weed.
For red rice, tomatoes and or tomato sauce.
