You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how variables
 and function parameters work.

   The parameter should be something like color, not red.

    You need an argument to this function if you expect it to
 change the color.  I suggest color, the parameter we just
 renamed.

That does nothing at all useful for you.  I expect you really want
       red = "red"
