That doesn't happen with my Mathematica 5.0.1 WinXP installation, but apparently it does on your machine. Go figure.

I'd try wrapping Evaluate around Transpose, or around the List that's a part of, since the error message indicates "red" isn't evaluated soon enough.

Another possibility is that "red" didn't get defined because of a spelling error (though you didn't mention any), since Red is a symbol in Graphics`Colors`. I include

Off[General::"spell"]
Off[General::"spell1"]

in my Init.m, so that never happens to me.
