The illustration only illustrates macroevolution if loss of redness = loss of interfertility between red members and non-red members.

I wouldn't completely agree with that. It's not always a loss of interfertility that prevents interbreeding and leads to the splitting of a species.
Very often, it's mating behaviour.
Although I suppose you could argue that refusal to mate is a kind of inter-infertility, in practice.

For a good model of evolution transition I prefer to take a ride through New York City.
