The paddles on both the M7 and A8 are red if you have any type of red trim, i.e. black with red stitching or Adrenaline Red, either 2LT/2LZ or 3LT/3LZ. If you have Spice Red, the paddles remain black.
I don't believe the red seat belts have anything to do with it, more the interior color and/or stitching. The GM configurator pictures will show you the changes based on your interior options.

Plus, I did a Google search under "Corvette Adrenaline Red 3LZ interior" and the images that appeared showed red paddle shifters, however most of the pictures were of A8 transmissions so I wonder if the M7 Rev Match paddles remain black? I also think this only applies to the 2018+ model year. I guess I will find out soon enough.
