redhead/ginger. I've seen different words or phrases but I'm not sure what's correct? What's used as a term of endearment? Or as an insult?

By the way, russians don't use the straight translate of ginger ("имбирный ") as a colour definition. "Имбирный" means only "related to ginger root".

If you talk about hair then use word "рыжий", but about other entities the same colour - "оранжевый".
You can use "рыжий" as a noun if you talk about living creature with red hair. For example:
Redhead man have gone already - Рыжий уже ушел
It may be insult or endearment depending on context and/or intonation.
Mother can affectionately call her son "рыжий" or daughter "рыжая".
But if the word is used in conversation of two poorly familiar men it is insulting.

Redhead is like blonde or brunette, common and descriptive. Ginger is teasing/insulting/inappropriate for formal occasions and strangers.
