Why did Parliamentarians Wear Orange and Royalists Wear Red in the English Civil War?

So we often see the roundheaded Parliamentarian soldiers wearing sashes of orange, whilst fighting against the cavaliers (Royalists) who sport a crimson red sash. In this video I want to look into whether there's any historical basis for this.
