As you might be wondering from the picture, these are definitely not a blood red. They're borderline pink.
These keycaps fit a slight bit tighter than the Votex PBT I bought, and they are slightly more textured. Where the Vortex felt like the original texture on my ABS WASD/Code keycaps, the Tai Hao's are rougher-- I like it rougher.
Packaging was disturbed slightly during shipment, but the boxing is handy for someone quickly switching to a qwerty layout, and the profile is just fine. They should skip the plastic keycap puller, and leave the Wire one as it's the only one anyone should ever use. Bin Laden used a plastic one, and look what kind of person he was.
Hypersphere is right, the legends look slightly "better" but that's up to the font you like, and keen your eyes are. I expect these to last longest as they are doubleshot, not lasered, but only time will tell.
Relabel these as a stawberry red or something, and they'd be just fine.

Because the legends looked better than the ones on Vortex double-shot PBT sets, I tried the Tai-Hao caps. They look okay, but I do not like the feel of the caps at all. They do not feel like any of my other PBT caps. I think that the issue is the antibacterial coating. I would urge Tai-Hao to abandon use of an antibacterial coating on their keycaps.
