Red Dye

Red Dye is a primary dye color that can be used to re-color a number of objects.

Uses

Red dye can be used to re-color the following:

• Banner
• Bed
• Concrete Powder
• Leather Armor
• Sheep
• Shulker Box
• Wool
• Collar of tamed Wolf (is also the default color)
• Crafting other types of dyes
• Crafting red Terracotta
• Crafting red Stained Glass
• Crafting Firework Stars

Shepherd Villagers have a chance to buy rose red in exchange for an Emerald.

Source

Red dye can be obtained by placing a poppy, beetroot, or rose (in earlier versions) in a Crafting Table.

Wandering Traders will also sell red dye in exchange for an Emerald.

Crafting

Red dye can be used in combination with other dyes to make new dyes. However, this is not done while holding the dye in-hand, but instead by placing the necessary items in the crafting table interface.
