If pure red is at 0° hue, and orange at 30°, then that engineering value at 3° is much closer to red. The other two at 18° and 19° better fit the reddish-orange description, still more orange than red, while safety orange is up at 28°.
If you ask people to select a pure red that isn't tinted towards either orange or purple, then on average they say somewhere around -15°. So 'computer' red at 0° is a little bit orange compared to that.
