A star's magnitude is assosiated with its surface area/size. The reason Red giants may be brighter than those within the same colou (B-V), is simply due to the fact that it is much larger. (which results in an increased magnitude/brightness/luminosity.)

Why are red giants so bright?

Red giants are bright because they have expanded to a larger size, allowing them to emit more light.
