The most common and quick association of the scarlet or red is bloom, in the book is written “He had been bleeding from the mouth, and his neck and the front of his shirt were stained a brilliant red.” Here Brother is narrating when he found Doodle, dead and alone, suffering and scared, the scarlet more than bool represents the dead.
