Suggestion on primary color

Hi Stanley, I know I have opened many issues recently in trying out your CSS library. I just want to say that I found Cirrus CSS very useful and well done, so thank you so much for providing this nice CSS library!
Anyrate, a suggestion on the Primary color (https://cirrus-ui.netlify.app/fundamentals/colors). It's currently set to #f03d4d, which is RED color. Now I don't have issue with "red" per se, but it is a very common color for error or to indicate something is wrong. (which you do have "danger" color name representing that already, which is awesome.) But as a default Cirrus CSS choice to use RED again as primary is a bit much and confusing to users. It's more practical and useful to many projects not to use RED as primary color.
I understand this is a personal taste, and there will be projects that choose to use that as their color scheme, which is fine. But as a general CSS utility, perhaps it can help users to setup a more general use cases before selecting "RED" as primary color. Just my humble opinion. :)
Keep up the great work!
Hey @zemian! I actually welcome all the issues since it will only help to make Cirrus better. :)
I will get to the other open ones when I have some more time soon.
As for configuring the primary color, you can modify it and more inside the configuration file. This will require you to build your own version of Cirrus within your project (e.g. make the changes, transpile, and copy over the artifacts or import the framework directly). I have a guide here that should help with getting that started. There is also another section about different setups here.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
I understand we can make custom built to change it. My point is the default value of primary color should be more general, so we don't have to go custom build just to avoid RED as primary color, which often compete with the meaning of danger.
