Pepper ID help

[Dorkasaurus]

I just got some seeds from a friend of a friend. When she handed the envelope to me she told me they were for silver streak melon, which I don't love so I wasn't very excited about it. However, after coming home I opened the envelope and inside was a ziplock bag with severa different seeds in it. The one that caught my eye was the orange pepper seeds. When I say orange peppers seeds, I mean the seeds themselves are orange colored. I've only seen white and black pepper seeds before so they've picqued my curiosity.

The only thing written on the bag is "Korean Chili (orange seeds) Hot. Can eat green, when red used for Kimchi"

So anyone here know what kind(s) of pepper(s) have orange colored seeds? I'm thinking that maybe they've been colored/treated with something but figured someone here might have an idea about them. Sorry for not posting a pic but they're just seeds, and they're orange like a carrot.

Thanks for the feedback but I don't have a pod to examine, only a few seeds. The seeds are orange so I'm wondering if this is a natural occurrence or if the seeds have been treated somehow. Here's a (crappy) pic to show you what I'm talking about:

The coloration of the seed is probably just an indication that it's been treated (to eliminate the chance of seed born bacterias and fungi and alike).
Most all seeds out of Korea are treated.
The variety commonly used for drying (and making kimchi) is Tae-yang Gochu (to the best of my knowledge that's the correct name).

I figured as much but have never dealt with coated seeds before. My search words like "orange pepper seeds" didn't help because all they returned were Habaneros, orange bell peppers, etc.

It wasn't until I started investigating "coated seeds" I realized they made coatings in every shade of the rainbow.

I've read more about peppers in the last few years than is probably considered healthy and just wanted to confirm I hadn't somehow managed to overlook a pepper that produced orange seeds.

T'is always good to ask! I could be wrong!
