They didn't wear red armor, however the roman legions are often depicted in pop culture as wearing red tunics under their segmented armor. There is some evidence that certain legions did dye their tunics red, blue ,green and even pink! But this has not been proven for certain, and it is possible that a regular legionary did not dye their tunics at all, leaving them plain (although it is probable that officers did). So all in all, the idea of the roman army wearing red might well of just been a myth worked upon by Hollywood because it looked good, though it does have some basis in fact.

The Romans used to wear Red military cloak armor which kept them warm in colder climates. The red color of it was a kind of symbol of identification in dust and the time of confusion in battle and created fear in the heart of enemies as RED symbolises danger.
