To my surprise, I've had trouble finding red themes, and used the [`beamer` theme matrix](http://www.hartwork.org/beamer-theme-matrix/) to find `CambridgeUS`. I've changed the itemized bullets to match, but I can't seem to make the enumerations red. I tried `\setbeamertemplate{items}[red]` from the `beamer` manual, and I tried `\setbeamertemplate{enumerate items}[default, red]` which also didn't work. It looks like it can be done in each enumerate environment like [this related question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/28056/coloured-numbering-in-a-list), but is there a way for me to do it once, in the preamble, without defining a custom command? I thought this sort of thing would be common. At the moment my preamble is

```
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
\setbeamercolor{item projected}{bg=red}
\setbeamertemplate{enumerate items}[default]
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
\setbeamercovered{transparent}

```

Alternatively, if there is another template for enumerate items that uses the default markers and is red, that would work too.

EDIT:

I'm able to change the color of the top level number with `\setbeamercolor{enumerate item}{fg=red}`, but they don't all inherit as I would expect when I try `\setbeamercolor{enumerate items}{fg=red}`.

EDIT AGAIN:

It looks like using `\documentclass[red]{beamer}` turns them red (not a great shade or red, but reddish nonetheless). I read somewhere that doing this is obsolete, so please let me know if there is something more current that I should be using.
