This strange new leaf just opened yesterday, and I don't know if it's a bad sign or just an anomaly. There are yellow leaves; I watered my philodendron too much and checked for rotten roots. Sadly, it had some. I removed them and hope this is the solution. The plant stands in the south, but only gets around 1 hour of direct sunlight because some trees block it most of the day. I started spraying the leaves with water from time to time. I read this would help them, and I'll water it less.

It could just be reverting to rojo congo. Brikins are a cross between a red philo and a green one, so over time some leaves start to look like either of the original plants. Totally normal. If it seems healthy otherwise, just enjoy the surprise splash of colour. They are good plants and can recover nicely from overwatering.
