It would have to be a brown dwarf to make red light. Red dwarfs are like incandescent light bulbs, pale orange light.

I see. Most star types look white, don't they? Their "colour" in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram doesn't correlate with the human perception of it, and that's kind of boring.

Yes the color labels are exaggerated. They would all look white due to over exposure and in some cases the color mixing (like for our sun). Only the lense flare would possibly have any saturation in it's color, like when looking at a street light in the night. The light source looks white because it's too hard on the eyes but the star shaped lense flare around it looks orange.
The directions of the shadows look strange in the picture. The blue shadows vary. From long distance like between star and planet shadows should be parallel.
Still nice idea for a picture that I haven't seen before. People like to paint double suns but rarely care to make double shadows or give accurate colors.

Yeah, it's a quite ancient painting and it's not very well made. I was never satisfied with it and looks like people around here didn't liked it much too.
I think I can do much better now, but it's quite challenging and I have been too lazy to try. But it's a good concept, indeed.
