Sure, but that title would work anyway because it has "Red" in it!

The example of what wouldn't work kind of threw me. I was trying to clarify if the word ruby was in a title WITHOUT the word red, it would still be a "red" word. :)

Sure. I was trying to avoid words that are used in phrases to modify the actual word "red," like "dark" or "blood" - things like that.

Thanks!"
sorry, no, burnt umber is generally considered more of a brown, than a red.

In honor of the Vermilion Bird, read a book with the word “red” or one of its variants (crimson, scarlet, vermilion, etc.) found intact in either the title or the author’s name.
The title/author name word must by itself be a word meaning some shade of red. A word that by itself does not mean a shade of red will not work. For example, although some might consider "blood red" or "dark red" to be names for variations of red, the words "blood" or "dark" would not work as title/author name words.
