To answer your question No difference.

Brushes.Red returns SolidColorBrush only. Its definition is like:

public static SolidColorBrush Red { get; }

You can assume its default template which Microsoft provides you for basic colors.

Use SolidColorBrush constructor in case you want to provide your own custom A,R,G,B values for color.

This will get you actual Red color:

enter image description here

SolidColorBrush anotherBrush = 
                     new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0));

This will get you Red color with G component set to 100 byte and B component set to 50 byte.

enter image description here

SolidColorBrush anotherBrush = 
                     new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 100, 50));

Brush is the base class and holds any type of brush no matter how it was created. SolidColorBrush constructs a brush having a solid Color, LinearGradientBrush is another way to constract a brush and there are by far more. And WPF offers a huge set of predefined brushes in the Brushes class. They are of type SolidColorBrush just in order to say: a single, solid color.

None.

MSDN says:

public static SolidColorBrush Red { get; }

So in fact this is a static SolidColorBrush. With your first line of code you create a similar object.
