The first thing you have to do is to define what "red color" means in precise terms. For example, exactly when does a color stop being red and start being purple, or orange, or black ?

The only color names that have an objective scientific basis are "black" and "white" -- and "white" is most commonly not used in its scientific meaning.
You could _define_ Red, Green, and Blue in terms the peak sensitivities of the human eye, 575 nm, 535 nm, 445 nm respectively. Unfortunately that will not come close to matching the frequencies that we associate with those color names, at _about_ 660 nm, 520 nm, and 475 nm according to the diagram at http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/colcon.html#c1
Or you could use one of the standards of color definition such as CIE. Look at the bottom diagram in the below page: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/vision/cie.html
Please, however, read the text that accompanies that diagram, as it makes clear that color names *must* be approximate and not scientific.
