Color citation number

Question

Is there any way to color the number associated to citations where the bibliography is printed? (I.e. I want to have 1 and 2 in the reference section to be in red.)

Here is a MWE:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Aldstadt2010,
  address = {Berlin, Heidelberg},
  author = {Aldstadt, Jared},
  doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-03647-7},
  editor = {Fischer, Manfred M. and Getis, Arthur}
  file = {:home/persican/.local/share/data/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Aldstadt - 2010 - Handbook of Applied Spatial Analysis.pdf:pdf},
  isbn = {978-3-642-03646-0},
  pages = {279--300},
  publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}
  title = {{Handbook of Applied Spatial Analysis}},
  url = {http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-642-03647-7},
  year = {2010}
}

@article{Aksnes1993,
  author = {Aksnes, D and Giske, J},
  doi = {10.1016/0304-3800(93)90007-F},
  issn = {03043800},
  journal = {Ecological Modelling},
  pages = {233--250},
  title = {{A theoretical model of aquatic visual feeding}},
  volume = {67},
  year = {1993}
}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}
  \section*{Introduction}
  This is a citation \autocite{Aldstadt2010, Aksnes1993}.

  \begin{spacing}{.5}
  \printbibliography
  \end{spacing}
  \end{document}

Answer 1

Here is a tricky way.

You have already used following codes in the specimen document, just try adding \textcolor{red} as in the following example:

\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
 {\noindent}
  {\unspace}
  {\printtext[labelnumberwidth]{%
   \printfield{prefixnumber}%
   \textcolor{red}{\printfield{labelnumber}}}
   \addspace}
