Taking Generic Effexor Everyday. Change In Color Of Medicine. Is This Normal?

I am taking generic Effexor 150 er mg 1 daily and I just picked up a new refill from the pharmacy. I noticed that the new pills (by TEVA) which is what brand I've always had are now orange and not the dark red that they've always been. I have trouble talking to people in this pharmacy and frankly don't trust them, but I don't have prescription insurance & they are the cheapest for all of my meds. Should I be concerned that the capsules r Orange and not the dark red I've been taking for @ least 6 months?
