Just call it a pepper, like "red pepper" or "black pepper" for the seasoning.
There are other kinds of peppers that are those colors, that's why we use "bell pepper" to refer to the ones that look like bells
If you went to my garden and used my red peppers (serrano) as a replacement for red bell pepper then you're going to end up with a much spicier dish
I mean, context is also used, a teaspoon of red pepper is likely referring to the seasoning.
