Commonly the red should be positive but not always. Use a volt meter to find out for sure. Really need more information as to what this wire is for and where it is located to give a good answer.

But the reality is, a manufacturer may select different colored wires to represent different things, and it is entirely up to the manufacturer to make those decisions.But since this question is under the heading, "Home electricity", you may have asked the wrong question, since home wiring is AC (alternating current), and there is no such thing as a positive or negative wire.
