I was afraid that the sibling was going to be so faint that I would have trouble seeing it (like σ Cassiopeiae), but it ended up being pretty easy. I'm guessing because the faint sibling was further away from the primary. Primary is orange and red, the secondary is white-blue.

A pleasant surprise! I was expecting difficulty splitting this star as well due to how close they were. But the distinct color differences in each star made them stand out from each-other even though they were close enough to be touching at this magnification. Primary is white-blue, secondary is yellow-orange.
