Depending upon where you are, there is no standard color of fire extinguisher to determine what is inside; that would normally be shown on the label. In the USA a red extinguisher could be foam, dry chemical or even special Class D powders.
On the label, various standards use different colors to indicate contents. Under British and Australian standards, solid red means "water" (Class A). Foam extinguishers would have either a blue stripe (AUS) or cream-colored panel above the instruction label (Brit).
