Black/Red text is softest K-50 + 50mm 1.8

This isn't the best focused picture, but I was at open house for my daughters 2nd grade and took some pictures of essays on the wall, etc.  I noticed that regardless of it being slightly out of focus, the black on red text was MUCH softer than any other color combination.

Is this the nature of the 50mm 1.8 DA lens, or the nature of red pixel population on the bayer array of the sensor?  If it is the latter, I can now understand that pixel shift can be such a huge benefit when you get the opportunity to use it.
