I've seen red wax almost exclusively, but I have also seen a few letters sealed with green, blue, or gold wax.
If you happen to become Pope, or King of Great Britain, Ireland, and your other realms and territories, then there is a color code where certain types of documents are sealed with certain colors of wax.

If you're sending a letter... whatever strikes your fancy.
