Actually the color is orange. Same color we put on the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. Many prisoners are given orange jumpsuit to wear due to the fact it makes them easier to see if they attempt to escape. Now stop making stupid shit up.I have been wondering what these orange jump suits mean.
And actually it is the color saffron. And since it is the most red you can easily get it counts as red. And actually saffron is the color mentioned in hadeeth, that men may not wear.

It was reported that wearing pure red is forbidden for men, but not for women, because of the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Umar: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade mafdam” (reported by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah, 3591). Mafdam is something that is filled with red safflower dye. According to the commentary of al-Sindi on Sunan al-Nisaa’i, mafdam is something that is filled with red. It was reported that if ‘Umar saw a man wearing a garment dyed red with safflower, he would pull him aside and say, “Leave this for the women.” (Reported by al-Tabari).
‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr said: “A man who was wearing two red garments passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and greeted him with salaam, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not respond.” (Reported by Abu Dawood and al-Tirmidhi, and classed as hasan by al-Bazzaar, who said: we know it only through this isnaad, which includes Abu Yahya al-Qattaat, who is a disputed figure).
There were several suggestions as to why men are forbidden to wear red, including the following:
because it is the dress of the kuffaar
because it is the adornment of women, so forbidding it is a way of discouraging the imitation of women
because it is vanity and does not befit a decent man to wear it
The prohibition applies only to garments that are dyed completely red. Garments that contain another colour such as white, black, etc. are not forbidden.
