Because you want the mailman to STOP, and pick up the mail inside the box. Red is an international color meaning stop.

Contrary to urban myth, Royal Mail does not own the trademark on the colour red, but a specific shade of the colour red: "Royal Mail, the Royal Mail Cruciform, the colour red and SmartStamp are all registered trademarks of Royal Mail Group plc."[5]
Stamps issued by the Royal Mail are the only stamps that do not bear the name of the country of issue on them.

red is an easy color to see, so the mail man will stop and pick your stuff up even if you don't have mail to deliver that day.

So the mailman can see them when it is up.

It's an eye catcher.
