What do these colors mean?

[FFSTRescue]

My female Oustalets cham started showing these colors about two days ago and wanted to be near the male, so I placed them together and they finally mated, so I assumed it was receptive coloration. I took her out after they mated when she started rejecting him. So it has been about two days and she is still showing this coloration of a red head. After mating, she has more red throughout her body, but still the red head. Is receptive and gravid coloration very similar in this species? Should I try mating them again? These pics are of her in her outdoor cage.

When I spy on her, she is almost completely red, when she sees me, she then looks like she does in the pictures above with only her head staying red. She just bred, so would she show gravid coloration that quickly? Is it hormones? Anyone?

Gravid colors!!

They can show gravid coloration within a day after mating?

Not sure about Oustalets, but my female panther turned nearly black within 20 minutes of mating and stayed that way for a couple of days.
