From Wookiepedia.

Construction
Main article: Bleeding
In the construction of a Sith lightsaber, individuals partook in a process known as bleeding. By ways of the Force, they would pour negative emotions such as rage, hate, fear and pain into kyber crystals. The process would result in the crystals gaining a distinctive crimson or red hue. Any kyber crystal could be bled for use in a Sith lightsaber, though some Sith believed that the proper method to gain a crystal involved capturing one from a Jedi lightsaber.

So it's because the Dark Side doesn't let them bond with the Kyber Crystals that give the sabers their color. They essentially have to force them into service and that changes the color. Probably not canon now but oh well.

George Lucas just wanted to make the bad guys more identifiable by the audience, like ohhh it's another bad guy in black with a red laser sword. Fans and Star Wars writers much later had to come up with a better story to fill in the blanks such as fueling the kyber crystal with darkside rage to give it that blood look.

Missed opportunities:

Seeing Anakins Sabre turning from blue to red, as his final decent into Darth Vader.

No fun allowed in these movies

Force sensitivity makes you go red/green colorblind. None of the sith/jedi can really tell the difference. That's why Vader and Palpatine were so convinced that Luke would turn. They thought he was rocking a red one.

if we're going by visible spectrum only, then violet would be strongest with red as weakest

TC, Red has been used for centuries in story as the "projecting evil/negativity" or depiction of a malevolence (ie., hell).
The Jedi use brighter colors (green, blue) projecting "peace, positivity". You want to be a Jedi, right TC?
