I had a red OMS 32 wing. I liked the color because it was so "in your face". People said I had to get black, so I got the red.
I already have 2 Oxycheq 30 lb wings, but when and if Patrick ever makes a run in red, I will be all over it.
A real benefit is red is more visible on the surface.
As for marine life, I would not worry about it. There was that shark week thing, light and dark contrast I think as more attractive to marine life.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
