    Livery colours are composed of the first named metal and colour in the arms.

    I am personally unfamiliar with Lord Antrim's arms, but they would follow the same rule.

    You'll find the arms of all the chiefs of clan Donald depicted here:
    http://www.highcouncilofclandonald.org/

    Neat site, with information about each current chief.

    The Earl of Antrim's livery colors would appear to be red and white.
