There was only one person who wore red armor in the entirety of Black Star Troopers.
Actually, the space armor had always had a paint job problem. This was due to the freedom of expression, exemplified by Earth’s combat jets. The pilots liked to add changes to his or her vehicle’s paint job as a memento, like adding a star after taking down an enemy craft or the like. Therefore, a small thing like paint was actually a point of contention within the Black Star Troopers.
Initially, the space armor’s original color was silver with black, metallic accessories. However, the color silver was simply too eye-grabbing. The troopers’ missions normally entailed them traipsing through space, and with the black color background, the silver space armor was pretty much asking for it to get shot at.
