By red you mean bright red?
If you think a bit about the materials etc such hats are made of in real life, you'll see that the current colour is more authentic.
So you're suggesting to change it in order to match dragon armour colour or something?
You should be happy it's in the game in the first place. This item was added to pirates' droptable because Pirate hook was removed from them (buggy model).
This idea is not worth the time and the effort, so definitely no.

Yes it should be a color similar to the colors already established as red, which in osrs meant, dark red, then they decided to go from RGB to CMYK color schemes.
But then again you can say no, at it could still happen so kudos for being the only one to care enough to reply. (Could've ignored it, but hey the argument exists now, thank you.)
