I have an idea now: Tiers. Red is Burn, but Bright Orange is a different tier of the same element. Like "Incinerate", "Ignite", or something.

The idea comes from SMT. Most spells in that franchise are tiered. In the case of Fire spells, Agi is low-tier, Agilao is mid, and Agidyne is high tier. Plus a Ma- suffix if it's the "targets everyone" version.

The same is done in multiple FF games. Fire-low tier, Fira-mid tier, Firaga-high tier.

So Red Dust would be Low Fire, while Bright Orange would be, say, Mid Fire. Makes sense considering how the Fireworks Cinder did with it were more flaming than the small explosion Roman did with the petty "Burn" crystal.
