The Nagas we've had have all been brilliant red. The bhuts have more of an orange cast, but still redder than orange. I haven't seen or tasted the bhuts grown on American soil, but the Indian ones, even dried will smell up the whole room, they are so pungent!
The nagas look a lot like a cross between a red savina and a furillo. The bhuts look almost like fataalis
The nagas are not anywhere near as pungent as the bhuts, but we believe they were hotter. Wish we'd tested them now that we can't get them anymore.

Does this mean you have decided your chile cannot be a Bhut jalokia?
Bhut jalokia is supposed to be red color I thought. If so, the only way to
get an orangish/tannish dried chile from it is for it to get horribly
bleached (e.g. sun, age, chemicals, molds) after drying.
