2. When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks flushed, turning the same color as his T-shirt.
This sentence conveys the meaning without missing any information or repeating any words or phrases.
Let us examine the other sentences one by one.
1. When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red flush as his red T-shirt.
The word ‘red’ is repeated unnecessarily here.
3. When Luther realized his embarrassing mistake, his cheeks began turning the same rosy color as his T-shirt.
The word ‘embarrassing’ is redundant here, because the sentence already conveys that he is embarrassed (which is why his cheeks were turning red).
4. When Luther realized his mistake, his cheeks turned the same rosy red glow as his red T-shirt.
The word ‘red’ is unnecessarily repeated in this sentence too.
