Since you live in the ocean, i doubt that you have ever visited any of the areas of the American SW that they apparently are attempting to model; even though the color of those rocks and sand (to me, also) clearly appear more 'orange'/'orange-red' than 'red', historically the iron-oxide bearing sandstone that creates this type of biome has been called 'red rock country' since discovered by English-speaking explorers. I have no idea what the native Americans called it.
Therefore, I expect since they have 'red' clay that is generated along that theme, 'red' sand is just a natural extension of the idea.
Kinda like how most natural 'redheads' have orange hair.
Red glass made from natural red sand makes little sense, because if they added red glass they would need all the other colours. I think we'll be getting red sandstone soon enough though.

Thanks for the unnecessary science lesson
(sorry just had to do that).
I don't think they would add that unless they put more than one colour in.

Yep. To get red glass you would have to smelt it into a liquid, add the color, and then cool it off.

Yes, it does generate in mesa biomes.
I made that post over a week ago. Thanks, but I figured it out about 30 minutes after I posted that.

Red deserts? Isn't that what the new Mesa biome is? Or was that a joke?
