Basically the bull is color blind. The color red in the eyes of the bull will look into gray. (that's according to the vet.)
If a rampaging bull butting red cloth, it is because intuition / instincts of the animal itself. He will attack anything moving in front of him. So do not be a red cloth. any color as long as shaken in front of the bull would be attacked as well.
Then why matador uses a red cloth?
That's because the culture of Spain who think red is a symbol of courage. So the matador would look so brave & manly. & it was the tradition of the matador uses a red cloth.

Well reading what other people have said has reminded me that yes I have heard that a bull is in fact color blind and so it doesn't matter what color the blanket is, only the motion that is used that makes the bull angry or aggravated. I don't think I could ever be a matador, but I imagine that the exhiliration / adrenaline rush is something!

Bull did not hate the color red; matador red used to look brave. Bull butting because matador waving his cloth. Experiment ever conducted, and the bull butting fabric with any color as long as the fabric was unfurled

From what I understand, bulls are color blind. I think it's the motion of the cloth, rather than the color that disturbs them. I imagine the use of red is more for the people watching, because it makes it look more dramatic and it will give the audience more enjoyment. But, I think any color could be used and it would have the same effect on the bull.
