White will nearly always go to white in that situation; and black will go to either black or red. Start with black; and if that does not work like it should, try red. Make sure the other wire is capped, to prevent hazards.

First of course turn off the power to that room. Often the fuses are not labeled so it's safest to turn off all the house power with the big fuse or circuit breaker at the top, the 10 to 200 amp one. If the color coding is correct (and it sometimes isn't), the white wire from the wall goes to the white wire on the fixture, and the black wire may be hot all the time, and the red wire may be switched by some nearby wall switch.

Either the black or red wire from the wall would go to the black wire on the fixture, depending whether you want the light on all the time or switched. The only way to find out is to hook up the white to white, black to black, turn on the power, and see what happens. If it's not what you want, try red from wall to black on fixture.
