Why does the color red color red?

This is anti-red according to my teacher but I can't understand what he means.

I can't reach him because he uses certain words that I really don't know what does it means.

Hopefully you can explain.

I think what is meant here is that a red object generally reflects most of the colors in the red area of the color spectrum, but absorbs most of the other colors.
