Pinky-red campsis?

Is there such a thing? Does anyone have one?

I'm looking for a red climber with pink/purple/blue tones rather than orange tones - so crimson rather than scarlet IYSWIM? I've seen one that looks the perfect colour online at Thompson and Morgan - Campsis Stromboli - but after searching for further pictures elsewhere I am suspicious that it may well be orange after all...

Any ideas or alternative suggestions? I have a red oleander that I want it to tone (or contrast with) with and honeysuckle Eternal Fragrance. Pretty much everything else is white on my terrace. It needs to be suitable for growing in a large container. TIA!

You’ll probably find the right colour in a clematis. C Westerplatte maybe. Alternatively Vitis purpurea or Ampelopsis brevipedunculata Elegans would give a toning foliage contrast without the flowers

Podranea is a pink trumpet vine. S. African though so maybe not fully hardy.
