Question

What colour of grapes make red wine?

Answer 1

As a rule red grapes, but with today's blending it may take grapes from a variety of of colours to produce the bottle.

Answer 2

I agree with Kai's Mama

Answer 3

It can range from light red to greyish purple to bright purple to almost black.  

In almost all red wines, the colour of the wine comes from contact with the skin.  The juice is actually clear, but the skin of the grape imparts the colour.  That's why you can have a white Pinot Noir or a white Pinot Gris - the juice clear and can be pulled before it gets colour from the skin.

Edit:

Dune is correct as well.  Sometimes white grape wines are blended with red grape red wine and the final product is a red wine.  There are several excellent Shiraz/Viognier blends coming out of Australia.
