I'd say go ahead and wear it. But then I generally don't give a damn about traditions and superstitions. I wasn't aware of any general prohibition on wearing red but doing a quick Google search I see that it isn't an uncommon issue.
If you're concerned about it, I'd suggest asking the bride since hers is the only opinion you really have any reason to care about. Just tell her you found a dress you love but it is red/black and you know some more traditional viewpoints wouldn't approve and does she care.
Odds are she doesn't, but on the other hand if she does there have been far stupider bridezilla-triggered friendship schisms than that would be.
