The two expressions are related. They refer to the state of your economy.
"In the black" means you have a good economy. You earn enougn or more than enough and you can pay all your bills.
"In the red" means you have a bad economy and you do not earn enough to pay your bills.
The expressions come from the fact that, traditionally, in keeping a record of your economy, your income is recorded in black ink and your debts were written in red ink.
