I searched for the function `FormatAnsiTerminalCodes` to see how the bool option is passed in other parts of LLDB. In most of the places, `GetUseColor()` function of Debugger class was used to check the use-color settings. So I decided to use this approach `interpreter->GetDebugger().GetUseColor()` inside printRed function.

I guess I could not fully understand your comment :( If possible can you please explain it a little bit more.
