There is certainly a Hollywood precedent for these colours. Look at 'Hell's Angels' directed by Howard Hughes.
All of the D VIIs were painted red except the 'bad guy' those aircraft was black.
When the Hughes biopic 'The Aviator' was filmed, all of the DVIIs on site were painted red as well.
BTW, it never did wash off easily as promised by the production team!
Regards,
John
