Red is for the low spot, some rims will have it marked with a dimple or small dot of paint.

No the Red spot is the HIGH point for radial run-out and radial force variation of the tyre. However you're right, the dimple, dot of paint or sticker indicates the WHEELS low spot. The high spot of the tyre should thus be aligned with the low point of the wheel. Failing this (i.e. if there is no mark on the wheel). Red should be aligned with the valve with preference over the yellow mark which is the tyres light balance point.
Its always been the red dot, well, for the past 20 odd years I have been in the auto industry anyway. Align with the Red Dot to valve stem, shouldn't need much weight to balance wheel if any. Providing the rim runs true, also depends on the quality of the tyre being fitted.
