It is not a red flag, it is a red cape called a muleta. He is moving the cape to attract the bull's attention and make it charge. The bull is attracted to the motion and not the color of the cape. The matador uses the muleta during the final act of the bullfight called the faena and estocada.

Why does the matador wave the red flag at a bull?

Matadors do not use 'flags.' They use two types of capes. The first is called a capote and it is a large, heavy rose colored cape used to test the bull and guide the bull when it first enters the bullring. The second is a smaller and lighter red cape that is suspended from a wooden stick and the matador's sword. The muleta is used in the final parts of the bullfight - the faena (performance)and the estocada (kill).The purpose of the capes is to be a lure and decoy. The bull has never encountered a man on foot before and thinks the cape is part of the man. However, the bull learns quickly and the matador dare not extend his performance too long as he will most assuredly be gored.

What happens when you wave a red flag at a bull?

It's not the color but the movement that attracts the bull. Contrary to myth, bulls are not colorblind. A bull's vision is dichromatic, meaning they can see in two main colors. These bulls are usually trained to be aggressive so that when they see movement, they will attack.
