It looks like you are configuring a C shell prompt, correct?
Make sure you have the following settings in ~/.cshrc (or in
/ect/csh.cshrc, if you want a global setting):
set promptchars = %#
set prompt = %n@%m:%~%#
This would give you the STANDARD prompt - note the space after
the prompt character and the absense of the brackets.
You want red color - I'm not sure if this is supported in csh.
At least I know that bold printing is possible. Have a look
at this:
set prompt = [%B%n@%m:%~%b]%#
This uses %B and %b to switch on and off bold printing. Refer
to man csh, section Special shell variables and scroll
down to prompt - there are some more special settings to
customize the prompt. It mentions %{string%} for escape
sequences and can MAYBE be used for changing color.
Is the pipe character at the beginning of the prompt intended?
If yes, use this:
set prompt = |[%B%n@%m:%~%b]%#
I've kept the space at the end of the prompt for better
readability. Remove it if desired.

Have a look at the page you mentioned above and you'll
easily find the answer, especially if you consult the
section
http://understudy.net/custom.html#color_prompts
and then scroll down to TC Shells - keep in mind that
FreeBSD's C shell is a TC shell (/bin/csh and /bin/tcsh
are the same program).
I've tried the example (on FreeBSD 7) from the web page
you mentioned and found that
set prompt =
%{\033[31m%}[%{\033[0m%}%B%n@%m:%~%b%{\033[31m%}]%{\033[0m%}%#
works as intended. %{\033[31m%} switches red color on, and
%B/%b applies bold face for the text inside the brackets.
In the section
http://understudy.net/custom.html#table2
you'll find a reference for the other colors programming
codes. You could, for example, use a different color for
root and nonroot shells, or change color depending on specific
shell accounts on your system.
You can also use other attributes like %S/%s for standout
(here: inverse) mode, or %U/%u for underline mode. However,
not every terminal (emulator) is capable of displaying them
as intended, for example the text mode console cannot do
unterlining, vt100 can do blinking _and_ underlining, but
can't do colors, xterm can do underlining, but _not_ blinking,
but can do colors... and so on.
