If its anything like the coleus I have growing inside, excess light is what gives it the extra colour

These look like two different varieties of Philodendron to me.
Plant in photos 1 & 3 is Philodendron Pink Princess. Plant in photo 2 is Philodendron Prince of Orange.
Prince of orange is known for having bright orange new leaves that gradually fade to dark green as they mature.
Pink Princess leaves and stems are usually more of a reddish-brown colour, with occasional light pink variegation.
Are you sure you haven’t gotten two different plants mixed up? Or maybe someone replaced your plant with a different one without you realising?
Edit – I just noticed that the damaged leaf visible in photo 2 is also present in photo 1, so does seem like the colouration of the whole plant has changed. Philodendron mutations can be a bit unstable, I wonder if somehow yours has reverted to a different type. Or maybe have others have said, it could use a brighter light source.

Nope, but it’s beautiful
I think needs more light to keep the colour.
