Try, (255,0,0) instead of red.

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
img = Image.open('test.png')

d = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
d.text((100, 100), "HELLO", fill=(255,0,0))

img.save('testssss.png')

You should also look at the size of your image, it might be too small for the text you are using. You can try reducing from (100,100) to maybe (10,10) first and see if it works.

It could also be a case where you don’t have enough bits for the colour because your image is less than 256 bits per colour palette. You can also try converting your image to an rgb image using the following command before you add the text. Do

img = img.convert("RGB")
