Notice how the retro colours look much yellower than the deep red of the jersey with black? Pull both images into photoshop and colour pick them. The same colour - a61923. The Flames are a brand and their brand's red is the same on both jerseys (but not the abysmal HC ones). The photos that you've linked to show the Jerseys in different lighting scenarios. Can't compare them. Take the retro and the current home jerseys, fold them over so that no other colours are showing but red, and compare them side-by-side. Same red.
That said, I definitely agree the retros look jarringly orange - especially on TV. I think they should definitely pull some yellow out of the retros to make them APPEAR more like the current homes. This will never happen, unfortunately.
