I' ve owned a few red cars, including my current 944S, and yes it does tend to fade, especially if it' s out in all weathers. I' ve got a pretty faded bonnet on mine and am just about to have a go at claying and applying a quality polish & wax to rejuvinate it and protect it. Seeing Andrews TBO on the weekend has shamed me into it[

(As a complete novice to car cleaning - I keep the house clean, hubby does the cars!) Would using coloured waxes help keep the colour from fading?

I reckon you could improve things by using a 3 stage polish and wax system where you first clean the paint with a clay bar, then polish the surface and finally apply a few coats of good quality wax to bring out the shine and protect the paint.
There was a 944 Register member in Cumbria who had a similar problem with his roof. A good polish and wax would make it deep red again, but it would gradually turn pink again as it wore off. Hopefully yours is not this far gone.
Coloured polishes are only really good at hiding swirls or small stone chips, I don' t think they will help in this case.

I was sceptical till I washed and leathered my car and thought, " what the hell" and got some. To say I was amazed is an understatement and that was just one application.
So why pay a fortune for Zymol?
