Red is mostly based upon an octatonic scale, i.e.
half step-whole step scale, root movement in minor 3rds.

It isn't.
c-d-e-f#-g#-a# is a whole-tone scale.

And also, what that infamous ol' "Devil's Triad", eh? (AKA-
"Tritone")
'According to tradition, the tritone was called the Devil's Chord or
the Diabolis in Musica, a sound so dissonant and so
puissant it was believed to be capable of raising the Lord of
Hell himself. For this reason, in it's irrationality, the Roman
Catholic Church banned the Devil's Triad, on pain of
excommunication. Today, of course, bands such as
Metallica and Black
Sabbath use the tritone on a regular basis with no
adverse effects.' (Har! Funny!)

It's because all those keys are part of melodic
minor (if going from C# as the root). They've used it for centuries, did
always work. Same as the blues, only more antique.
