It is also a fashion statement which refers to wearing the colour red or changing the colour of your hair to red. Red is a strong colour and one we know enrages a bull. So I think the idea is of a colour that attracts attention and strong reaction.

It's the name of a song by Dear Leader and Guns and Roses
Touche touche you back away
From this cruel cruel occupation you're the prey
In the jaws of the tiger
You're the star of a passion play
Hurray hurray the hit parade
With a thousand hooks that seem to rip away
Like the heifer hung
This bird has sung it's final days
Hands up sha-sha-sha-shakin
Raging red it's yours for the takin'
Hands up sha-sha-sha-shakin
Raging red it's yours for the takin'
Obey obey all that they say
When your comrades pump and you just feel betrayed
When the empire falls
They don't return your calls
They run away
Hands up sha-sha-sha-shakin
Raging red it's yours for the takin'
Hands up sha-sha-sha-shakin
Raging red it's yours for the takin'
It's yours for the takin'
Yours for the takin'
It's yours for the takin'

The participle 'raging' can have all the meanings associated with the verb "to rage".
When applying it to colors:
raging red = a wild, intense, hot, passionate, or angry, red color
She was raging in red. = She was dressed in red and the impression was intense, wild, hot, passionate, etc.
"Raging in red" is sometimes used in the fashion industry to describe a "color".
The looks this week span the spectrum from peachy delight to electric blue to uptown prairie chic to master in stripes to raging in red.
