Default String brand with coloured G-string?

Maybe some of the sharp minds here can help me. From a store I bought a defective (loose bridge) Manuel Rodriguez e Hijos model C3 guitar for around 100$ (!) and successfully reglued the bridge. I think it was an old-in-stock, since it had no traces of use whatsoever.
It turned out to be a fantastic guitar, almost matching my 20 times more expensive handbuild german guitar. I didn't change the strings (because I didn't know what the result of the repair would be), and now I would like to keep using the same type if possible – this is where I need help.
It may sound crazy to ask, but there is a clue. The G-string has a light reddish-brown hue, the B- and E-strings are the usual clear nylon. Does anyone know which brand uses this combination?

Sounds like D'Addario Pro Arte composites. I think the current sets include both a normal nylon G as well as the composite G string since some people really didn't like the way it looked and felt. The basses use the composite for the core.

Thanks for the tip, Smwink. I looked around a bit and found this discussion:

I'll try the D'Addario Pro-Arte’ EJ45C
