Reds people choose are usually between dark and light, which doesn't contrast particularly well on anything because for good contrast you need a dark color vs a light color.

Green, yellow, red or whatever hue is fine, as long as it's dark or light enough. Colorblind and non-colorblind people can see how dark or light a color is (luminance), but they might not agree on the hue. That's why WCAG contrast checks require luminance contrast and not hue contrast.

It's best to use a contrast checker because it's not always intuitive how dark or light a color is e.g. yellow and lime are almost as light as white.
