To my surprise, I've had trouble finding red themes, and used the 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, 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 I read somewhere that doing this is obsolete, so please let me know if there is something more current that I should be using.

You can use
local structure
to cause the colour inheritance:
