You can refer to the linked help article for details on the wiring under the hood of your 2003 Silverado that you need to connect for trailer brake controller installation. There are both red and blue wires, as you noted. These are normally located next to the fuse block on the cab side as shown in the photo taken from the article. There is one wire of each color.
If you have a factory 7-way you will need a wiring adapter to plug the controller in to the port under the dash. For instance if you have a Tekonsha controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885 you will use harness # 3015-P to connect it.
If you don't have a factory 7-way you also need either # PK11898 or # 30955 depending on whether there is a round plug or just cut wires above the spare tire.
