Hello,
I recently installed VICE on an Arch Linux system, but when I start up the Commodore 64 emulator (/usr/bin/x64), it starts up with the wrong colors (red instead of blue)! What's wrong here, and how can I fix this?

First I thought you might have picked the wrong model. But after testing
here it seems all have (light) blue colors here anyway.
If nothing helps, move your ~/.vice/vicerc somewhere else. Next start it
should create a new file. Although it might bail out due to missing
kernal- and other roms locations. Look them up from the vicerc you just
moved and tell it the C64 on the command line. Something like
x64 -kernal /usr/lib/vice/data/C64/kernal ...
Hope that helps.

I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often
as I have to reboot my computer.

WEIRD.
See, I also use VICE on Windows, so I can just create a symlink to the Commodore ROM files on my Windows partition instead of crawling the Internet looking for "illegal" copies. Oddly enough, when it read the vicerc file in the ~/.vice symlink, something in that vicerc file got interpreted as "red" instead of "blue".
So what I have done is run a 'diff' command between the old and new vicerc files and pasted the output to a text file which I have uploaded to Dropbox, thus: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gyncp90vr9o29zh/vicerc.diff?dl=0
Have a look and tell me what you see.

I cannot find any color related in there.
Ever tried to use the vicerc of the working installation for the not
working? There might be some file directory errors tough. But hopefully
should start VICE and then you'll see what color it has there.
