Good question. My lions are all white, but I don't have anything specified for the color of the claws and tongue. I posted on the AA for heraldric advice on how to phrase it, since I don't know the details of how it would be said.
It looks like we posted at the same time (to the second).
See above. If red, you can just leave it out. If they're the same color as the entire charge, then technically you can leave it out too. You really only need to include it if you're trying to be very specific, or they have a non-standard color or otherwise differ from the body.
EDIT: There are a lot of details that can be left out if they're not significant. For instance, if you have three of the same charge, it's not uncommon to leave out their arrangement altogether if they're in a triangular arrangement that just fits, such as around a chevron. But it's possible to specify these sorts of things in excruciating detail if necessary. (see here for sample arrangements:
