I'm color blind

^ There is your answer dude ;-)

But seriously, the red is a little less saturated than I remember in that YouTube clip but it was never that bright to begin with. Probably a YouTube encoding thing as you say.

Additional: Shot from Blu-Ray.com...

Back in the day, I saw it in RE class on VHS too and remember the red being a touch stronger. Perhaps it was boosted a tad for the VHS release to compensate for the loss in "resolution"? Because in most shots she is just a dot in the distance.

*Strikes beard* different factors could play into this: first the telecine, and most importantly, the way codecs like mpeg2, xvid and h264 handle color. The chroma space will always lose some information, and in a case like this, it seems most likely. I'll run a couple of tests tomorrow.

Oh, and I cannot see it on that still from Bluray.com.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, I think I see it in that photo. It is incredibly faint though. If I wasn't looking for it, I'm not sure I would see it. Jpeg compression is notoriously really lossy.
