Malchiodi's description of common color associations (2007, p. 158) links red with both positive and negative associations.  Rubin summarizes the Zierers' interpretation of color integration as "reflect[ing] mental health, while its absence (color disintegration) was seen as reflecting mental disorganization or disturbance" (2010, p. 113).

If you haven't mentioned the author's name in your text: 

Use of the color red can have positive or negative associations (Malchiodi, 2007, p. 158).  The Zierers' creative analysis approach associated color integration with health and color disintegration with disturbance (Rubin, 2010, p. 113).
