Correct, if you compare the two, the orange feels definitely blander, it needs more care and some details redefined. To balance it out, you could use silver over the orange, as gold is used over the red ;)

Red paper is mate, orange is printed on a shiny one or has different finish. The red one has a ₿ texture and the orange does not.

Not sure about the color contrast (for accessibility) and qr-readability, but I bet the orange will look more valuable. It will make it harder to chose between the two when side by side.

I like the textile selection to create different choreography for each, that's a sweet detail that make a lot of difference when presenting the product.
