Yes, you can find it by typing `:help magic`. "magic" is a setting which tells Vim which characters have special meaning in a regex.
One way to figure out the pattern is by trying to search for it (by typing `/pattern`) because it uses the same regex rules.

This should work:
%s@\\textcolor{LRed}{\(\w\+\)}@\1@g
Or this, which specifies a "very magic" pattern:
%s@\v\\textcolor\{LRed\}\{(\w+)\}@\1@g
