Leaf burn?

I just bought and repotted this plant. The color of the leaves have turned this orangish-red color. Is this from sunburn?
0ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
I had a very similar thing happen to my alocasia when I put it a bit to close to a window. Mine was sunburn so I would guess that might be the cause. Has it been exposed to direct light?
@NodeAbode I’m honestly not sure. It is on my home work desk next to a south facing window, so it’s possible that the blinds got opened in the evening and it received direct light.
I assume your plant recovered. How far do you keep it from the window?
Yes mine also was need a window with a covering that had stripes. And the scorched leaves are literally between the strips. The leaves still have those orange spots and I doubt they will go back to green. Overall the plant seems fine and is still growing well which is great. My window is SW so less direct light chance and it’s about 6” away.
