Period blood color?

Hi! I am 54 and my period returned after 277 days of no periods. It has been "regular" in the sense that it had a slow first day, Wes Craven second day, and then a gradual slow down days 3-5. Today is day 6 and the blood is almost gone, but what is there is bright red rather than darker. My health anxiety has me going absolutely berserk over this. Does the color matter? I was doing so well and now I feel like not only is this a step backwards for "the coundown," it feels like a terrible step backwards in anxiety! Love you all!

my blood is bright red alot, i dont tend to think anything of it x

Thank you! Health anxiety will be the true end of me!

no worries my lovely i totally understand x
