What does it mean if a plane is red on flight radar?

Red: When an aircraft is displayed as red that means that you are currently following that specific aircraft on the map or that the aircraft's transponder is squawking an emergency code. These codes are 7600 (Communication Equipment Failure), and 7700 (General Emergency).
