Wouldn't red colour be too bright for a girl/woman thus eye catching to the men?

This is about burka but it should apply to all outer clothing
In principle, it is permissible for a woman to wear a burqa with fancy embroidery. However, nowadays due to the fear of fitna she should only do so in front of other women or her mehrams. If she has to be out in public, it is highly recommended to wear a burqa without bright colors and fancy embroidery as that may attract the gaze and attention of non-mehram males.
And Allah knows best
