Where is it illegal?
I would assume everywhere in the US. Red is reserved for the rear, amber or white only on the front. That is definitely true for lights;
Except for the amber rear turn signals.
I would assume the same would be true for retroreflective sheeting. If
nothing else, it's a spectacularly bad idea, as it gives a conflicting
message to other road users - red indicates the rear of a vehicle,
therefore it ought to be moving away from the viewer, but in reality
it's the front and it's not.
Other colors (blue, green, etc.) are illegal as well; blue because it is reserved for emergency vehicles and other colors simply because they have no function assigned.
Green is for emergency medical personnel, at least in CT
