Dear Anon,
Red is always associated with auspiciousness for the Chinese.
In weddings, a red invitation card is sent out. Some newly wedded couples have a Chinese red double happiness symbol placed in their room. And even their pillow cases are embroided with the double happiness symbol.
Traditional bride wear a red dress with a veil covering their eyes.
Here, one can understand why red lanterns are used in pairs to decorate or line up a walkway. Red in this case, also symbolises auspiciousness.
Contrast this to white or off-site coloured lanterns used during a funeral.
Therefore, colours have a significance.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
