You need to put in each word seperately. I think the Japanese put their adjectives after thei nouns, so it would be 'dragon red'

Incidently why do you want to know?

Well there are at least 20 words for "red" ... take your pick ... dragon is pretty straight forward, but one also has to figure out what kind of dragon ... the european "Red Dragon" doesn't work in Japanese.

All you'd really be saying is "a dragon that happens to be red". Probably not what you wanted to get across.

You want a cool Japanese dragon, look up Yamata-no-orochi.
