The "red" color in backgrounds is probably due to different colored
light. If you shoot with a flash, but use Program mode or something
that will also expose for the background, the light on the background
is likely to be a different color than the color of the flash. This is
particularly true with incandesent bulbs (regular light bulbs). The
color isn't really red, but is pretty orange.

That also. For some reason red gels are popular with pubs for their lights,
even though they tend to muck up photos.

My favourite photos from last year either involved one big white spotlight

Or natural light diffused through stained glass windows
