What Wikipedia says

Red pill and blue pill are metaphorical terms representing a choice between learning an unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in the unquestioned and persistent illusion appearing as ordinary reality with the blue pill. The pills were used as props in the 1999 film The Matrix.
