I mean, weren’t the Spellbreakers depicted as Red in most of the artwork, even though you could technically pick any color in WC 3?
It just happened to be a good match.

Yes but that was in Warcraft 3 frozen throne when they went with the whole “blood elf” motif of being red.
Before that the motif was blue in the Scourge campaign.
I am starting to feel this is a circular conversation

You’ll find that every conversation with Zerde goes that way.
You can try and get ahead of him, because often what he says is entirely predictable… only for him to say it anyway forcing you to repeat yourself again and again.
Red does not equal Horde.
The Belves having a reliance on red coloring just happened to be a coincidence, it had nothing to do with them being Horde or Blizzard planning on making them Horde.
If the Horde was perfectly popular in Korea for the ugly races it had in vanilla I doubt Blizzard would have added them as a Horde race to begin with.
If dumb color coding mattered it would mean that somehow Frostwolves are somehow following ‘Alliance motif’ and Strom was following ‘Horde motif’.
Which they don’t.
If anything the coloring of pre-War3’s Silvermoon’s roofs was a mistake OR something they added, thought different, and retconned back. That’s of course in the unlikely instance that for whatever reason the WoW story team really emphasized to Golden the importance of adding a throwaway line about red roofs, something I very much doubt anyone cared about.
Red is literally the major motif of the Horde. No it doesnt always equal it but in this case its pretty obvious Golden wanted to keep that connection with Silvermoon, hence why she soft retconned it being always been red.
No.
That isn’t ‘obvious’ nor does it even male any sense.
