There's no standard color scheme for guitar tab notation. The publisher is somehow trying to differentiate what's marked in red, but it could be anything.

The part in your illustration is puzzling. It's a dotted half rest, a dotted 32nd rest, and a 64th rest. Since rests are just silence, it isn't clear why the editor marked it that way.
