Watermarks do not have any color. The red you see is from the face of the stamp.

Not to be pedantic, but to add a little more clarity, a watermark is made on the paper by the sewn pattern in the paper screen. This pattern systematically thins the paper, so that the printed color on the stamp may be visible when viewed from the reverse side.
