The commercial salted eggs are duck eggs and always dyed red to differentiate these from fresh eggs; as these are also packaged, transported and displayed in egg trays used for fresh eggs.

In the USA, I thought it is pickled eggs that are colored red. The red is due to beet juice.
The color is just a symbol people use to differentiate the pickled egg from a regular egg.
Also, pickled eggs are typically found in the old-timer bars.

I think its colored red just to differentiate it with the fresh chicken eggs in the market.
