Red and Green are colors with an inherent value (at least, in the US), suggesting good and bad. Unless there's a reason that they're the colors they are, you should use a color (I'd suggest a dark gray) that doesn't have a specific value.
I normally rail against pie charts, but in this case, you're comparing a part (calories in the serving size) to the whole (recommended calories per day), so I'm okay with it.
But the bigger thing I'd want to comment on: If you're redesigning the label, REALLY redesign it. Show the volume of the serving suggestion with a photo on a standardized plate / bowl. Or bring in some other piece of data that helps people make decisions. Do something wholly different with it. (Basically, what DanielStraight said.)
