It is because Melvin repaired the cowl with a welder after Punisher shot Daredevil in the head. He removed the paint / altered the overall color.
Wait a moment... that picture is taken before the repair... I don't know.
Probably the production was playing with colors to improve the overall look, waiting for a new cowl.
I think Clayman's theory is right, it makes alot of sense. They didn't really have to worry about anyone noticing anyway since it was still very dark in the first season. If it was still red and Matt survived the shot people would complain about how it shouldn't be possible according to what Melvin said.
