Red is worn for Jesus death and Martyrs death (blood) and feasts of the Cross - Passion Sunday anticipates the death on the cross the following Friday. Red is also worn on feasts of the Holy Spirit (Pentecost, Confirmation).

Why is red worn by priest in the church on palm Sunday?

Priests wear red to symbolize the death of Jesus, which we remember five days later on Good Friday. Red is the color of blood, so it is very fitting, especially since the account of the Passion of Christ is read at the Gospel. The story of Jesus entering Jerusalem is also read on Palm Sunday, but before Mass begins. The Passion account is read on Palm Sunday because if it is not, then many people will not hear the Passion story, as many do not go to Church on Good Friday. "Rather than having the two Sundays both focus on triumph, Passion Sunday is presented as a time to reflect on the suffering and death of Jesus in a Sunday service of worship." (Link added) Red is also worn on the feast days of apostles and martyrs, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Pentecost (to symbolize the Holy Spirit).
