        Hi,
good, this is fixed by [1], which explains it as:
/* encode color manually, because css styles expect colors in #rrggbb,
   not in #rrrrggggbbbb, which is a result of gdk_color_to_string()
*/
So for the currently set red you have #FFFF00000000, where CSS in gtk
uses only the first 6 "digits", thus "#FFFF00", which is yellow.
Choosing a color which has the first 6 digits as #FF0000 may work too,
but the UI will not let you do that (the gtk color pick dialog doesn't
allow that). Try to fake it with gconf key change:
   $ gconftool-2 --set --type=string \
        /apps/evolution/mail/composer/spell_color "#FF0000000000"
but I'm not sure whether other internal parts will not revert your
change. Anyway, this is fixed with 3.2.2 and you would re-set your color
for spell errors again when that version is out and available in your
distro.
        Bye,
        Milan
