As far as I'm aware, there was never such a thing as a "Red" tour. Fripp loved performing in front of an audience, so touring was almost continual, especially USA and Canada.
KC toured in 1969 with at least one Mk2 tron, but the Mark 2 line-up toured with the pair of white M400s, as did the Mark 3 line-up. However, Fripp acquired the black M400 (known as the "Red" or "Starless" tron), and toured with it from early 1974 onwards. David Cross was attired in light clothing and had one of the white M400s, whereas Fripp was dressed in dark/black and used the black M400, so you DID see the black tron.

I guess I remember it as red because that song really got my
attention.
David Cross with his white M400, and Fripp with his black
M400, it all came together quite nicely.
