Transmission oil color

If the dealer used the correct Honda transmission oil during a drain and refill what color should the oil be on the dipstick.

It's RED and looks OK

I am asking because I just had my dealer do an oil change and I do not have trust in their honesty or ability. Also on my 2006 insight, the correct Honda fluid is almost clear.
