Soil color has absolutely no influence on the rate at which water can pass through it.
Red soils are red because a microscopically thin layer of an iron oxide coats the mineral soil particles. If the Fe oxide coating is on sand particles, water will pass through it quickly. If the Fe oxide coating is on silt or clay particles, water will pass through it more slowly, unless the soil has favorable structure.
Take a sample of the red soil and wet it. If you can mold it and work it with your fingers to any extent, it has some clay in it. If it can be molded like modeling clay, it has a lot of clay in it.

Can soil particles pass into the plant through the roots?
Maybe because when the water is in the soil and is going through the roots up the stem some soil particles can go in the water and travel with it.
What soil- type allows water to pass through it fastest?
Loose and sandy soils allow water to pass through them faster as they have larger inter-particle spaces b/w particles of soil
Can soil and water be separated by filtering?
A paper filter will allow water to pass slowly through, leaving the soil particles behind.

Word describing soil or rock through which water can pass?
The word is porous.
What is Impervious concrete?
A layer of rock or soil that does not allow water to pass through it .
When a soil is impermeable?
The water stays there and forms a water table, like when you dig down in sand and reach water.
