How about a deeper, darker red (like mahogany or burgandy)? Bright red could
be interpreted as danger, but what about other shades of red (pink might be
telling more than you intended).

Of course, if all the titles are red, then the reader should be able to
figure out that Red is not indicating danger in the context of the book.

The reason I ask is I've just realized that we could apply some color to our
documents since they'll be going out as Beta PDF documents at the beginning
of the new year. I would like to incorporate some of the coporate colours,
but dark red is one of them (www.toonboom.com).

Speaking of which, anyone have a suggestion on getting exactly the right
tone of red to appear in my Color drop-list in Frame's Paragraph designer?
The only red I've got is Bright Fire-engine Red.
