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.

Thank you sir, I had a feeling if anyone here could assist it'd be you!

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.
