You don't know how to apply red?

Or they don't get red?

I know how to change the colour of lines in illustrator it was just not giving me the option to.

You have a swatch colour selected, so Illustrator is giving you tints of it instead of RGB/CMYK sliders. To see those instead, click on the little menu in the colour panel flyout.
