There may be a few reason. It's hard to tell with just one image.

(1) Maybe you created or opened a grayscale image. Check menu: Image > Mode.

(2) Maybe you are on a layer whose mode would make your red appear gray. In
my tests, the layer mode "Lightness (LCH)" would do such a thing.

(3) Maybe you are painting on your white layer with such a mode, e.g.
"Lightness (LCH)" again, for instance (check the painting mode in the tool
options).

(4) It would be possible also you use a bitmap brush (whose color cannot be
changed), though looking at your screenshot, it looks like one of the base
round brushes. But I write it down, just in case.

I'm sure there are other reasons which could explain painting in gray.
Bottom line: check your layer or painting modes, check the image mode, and
check your chosen brush. If that is not enough, try to reset the tool
option and maybe also the dynamics, just to be sure (there is a color
settings in dynamics too, so maybe you set a weird one?).

You probably just activated some settings somewhere. :-)
