I'm getting a strange red background when I visit some pages using Safari.
on Chrome the page is rendered in white normally.
I am not using any extensions and plugins.
How do I fix this bug?
Safari: Version 10.1.1 (12603.2.4)
macOS: Sierra Version 10.12.5
Edit: I do not have the paint flashing feature turned on, I also noticed that this bug occurs on local images with a transparent background without any stylesheets (see image below).
I tried opening a local file image, and it opens normally on Chrome and Preview. However on safari, the images has a red background.

I think this is a feature for web developers called "paint flashing".
Right-click on a blank bit of a page and select "Inspect Element", this will open the Web Inspector in Safari.
In the top-right corner of the Web Inspector there are a few icons. One looks like a paint brush. On your machine I bet it is selected.
Click it to turn it off.
