Red == black ? [#373130]

On the page:
admin/settings/subscriptions
there is the following node:

The subscribe to all content types permission grants normal access to unlisted and blocked content types; this is intended as an administrative function, and the content types will be marked with a ¤ symbol (and appear in red in the case of blocked types).

The color is subjective to the theme used. In my case, it appears black.
The best would not to mention a color, but put a more generic notice, e.g.:

The subscribe to all content types permission grants normal access to unlisted and blocked content types; this is intended as an administrative function, and the content types will be marked with a ¤ symbol (and appear like this in the case of blocked types).

I understand your reasoning. OTOH, I'm using the 'error' CSS class (a cheap solution, I know...), which is usually associated with red.

Are you satisfied with how your theme presents errors, or is this a weakness in your theme rather than in calling the error style 'red'?

I am using the theme a3_atlantis, available in contrib. In the theme, the text is white on blue background. The error class messages are in bold black letters, so they stand out all right.

You never know what themes people might come with, so hard coding the red color (in css) is not a solution either as it may not stand out in a pink theme ;).

Using the css 'error' class is ok. Just don't call the color by name.
