So from these it looks like RED= a materia melded outside of given slots. If RED= a less than full potential materia then the Gibus should be 1 green 1 red not 2 green.

from what I understand the slot each items has are 100% meld but once you try to put in more then those slots its starts to drop in %, so I am guessing there is higher/hidden cap on items you might not see it active but if you see it red you might get put off as you are not getting it but I would suggest that you do tests on lower lvl gear to see what works and what doesnt, I do remmeber in V1.0 you could quite easily make 1 mybe 2 melds but it would really get dangerous if you tried to make higher... dont know how much it has changed since I cant test it right now...

If you look at the image above, you'll notice there are two green slots (circles) and three red slots. Green slots are 100% success rate for attaching materia, red are lower and likely to fail. You will not see the red slot until you have successfully attached the materia.

Now if you look at the first green slotted materia, you'll notice it has text in red. That's because you have hit the cap for that particular stat. Craftsman's Competence Materia III is actually +5 Craftsmanship. Since I've hit the cap for Craftsmanship on this particular item, it only gave me +4 and threw the last point away.

Hope this explains things a bit better.
