Correct!

The red part of the compass arrow is the north side of the magnetic pull/force is the postive attraction, and the white side is the negative attraction.

If you try to put the compass with the red needle facing towards a positive magnetic force, they will repel

But if you try to put the white needle facing towards the postivie magnetic force, it'll attract. Basically follow the old saying of "Opposites Attract"
