Yes, if you watched the original Z (and not Kai), Vegeta always had this color scheme. This was the color palette that Vegeta (and Nappa, as his armor isn't quite the same color as it was depicted with when they reached Earth) were originally depicted when first shown, as those first episodes were animated prior to the first full. Reportedly, there were no officially published color images of Vegeta at the time, as Akira Toriyama's original Dragon Ball Z manga was published only in black and white.
Toei's red-haired Vegeta stuck around for a few early episodes of DBZ's "Raditz" saga before being replaced with the character's current and best.

The first few episodes of the anime that depicted Vegeta were animated prior to his first colored appearance within the manga, and Toriyama had yet to give Toei Animation the color schemes for either him or Nappa. In Vegeta's first appearance in the anime, the legendary prince appears with the red hair and green and orange armor, a decidedly different aspect than what it looks like when it arrives on earth.
No, Toei miscolored Vegeta's nowhere near as bad as things like that. I'm actually quite a fan of those colors, and I use them all the time in FighterZ. In terms of Dragon Ball being colored like that in any official capacity, you should look at the Korean manga covers for some truly wonky colors, as can be see in this thread.
