red
Explanation:

The light spectrum contains waves with specific wavelengths which can be classified into groups. Most of the groups are invisible to the naked eye (like infrared, microwaves, radio waves, gamma rays, etc.) however, there is one group that is known as visible light.

Visible light allows us to see colors, from red all the way to violet. The colors have different frequencies and wavelengths. The wave with the highest frequency also has the highest energy (which in this case is violet). Hence, as the frequency decreases, the energy will also decrease, making violet have the highest energy, and red have the lowest energy.
