The service manual shows a proper procedure for setting G2 but I kinda don't have patience to drag out my Tek 422 and make a voltage divider to measure the color cathode voltages

Color background is measured by displaying a black raster and bringing the G2 up to the point where you have a very dim color.
The dim color you see should ideally be a perfect very dark grey of the color temperature target you chose.
The red flashes suggest that you are seeing a very red dark grey, which is wrong.
The brightest parts of the raster are controlled by the drive pots, and controlled independently from the bias controls, so you can have "correct" colors in the brightest areas without having proper color bias.
This is a problem because you won't have proper colors in the regions between the darkest parts of the raster and the brightest parts of the raster. That's what is called "color tracking."
