RED

You can use zsteg for this problem which requires ruby which you can install with sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev and then get the gem with sudo gem install zsteg. Once you have zsteg installed you can run it on the image with: sudo zsteg red.png

From here you can put the base64 into CyberChef or use the base64 decoding operation in linux:

echo "cGljb0NURntyM2RfMXNfdGgzX3VsdDFtNHQzX2N1cjNfZjByXzU0ZG4zNTVffQ==cGljb0NURntyM2RfMXNfdGgzX3VsdDFtNHQzX2N1cjNfZjByXzU0ZG4zNTVffQ==" | base64 -d

Either way, you should get the flag.
