the wine gets it's color from the skin of the grapes. when the skin is removed you get "white" reds. eg. white zinfandel. they have a pink color, aka. blush wines.

All grape juice is "white"

When you leave the skins in with the juice the color of the wine becomes "red"  You could make a "white" wine with a "red" grape if you left out the skins

First things first, red wine is well…red, but why? It's color can be derived from a vast assortment of grape varietals ranging from grapes that are reddish, deep purple, and even a beautiful blue on the color scale. These grapes give rise to a wine that is color classified with such descriptors as garnet, almost black, dark red, light red, ruby red, opaque purple, deep violet, maroon and the list goes on. It is the grapeskins that are responsible for the red wine’s distinct color spectrum. The skins are in contact with the grape’s juice during the fermentation process, allowing the dispersion of both color and tannins. The individual wine’s particular red hue depends on the grape type used in the process and the length of time the skin’s pigmentation is in contact with juice. There are right around 50 key red wine varietals that consistently manifest themselves in today’s worldwide wine market.

Varietals are the types of wines made from a specific variety of grape. For example, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are two types of varietals.

A wine's pucker power, generally more dominate in younger red wines. Tannins are derived from the skins and seeds of the grapes used to produce the wine.
