Cephalotus do become red/more red in bright light. It's from anthocyanin. Think of it like a sun tan for plants. Chlorophyll is the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis.
On the flip side, the more light a Cephalotus receives, the smaller it's pitchers tend to be. So you're choice is smaller red pitcher, or larger green pitchers.

its better to give it more light and have smaller more colorful pitchers cause that ensures that it is much stronger then a plant that doesnt get enough light that it loses coloration and is more seceptibal to mold and fungus and disease problems...sort of like a vft.
