It's normal. Usually when plants are exposed to brighter lights whether it be Nepenthes, Sundews, or Cephalotus 'Hummer's Giant,' they'll develop a red color/tinge. The new growth of your capensis looks healthy so that's a good indicator.

One of the newest leaves is showing signs of a yellowish coloration? Tan? Thanks for asking
