It might not matter when running with a reftest harness but it's very bad practice to use red in a test when it doesn't mean "FAIL", because testers using our tests are sensitive to that color when evaluating a test manually. If someone actually looks at that test, they will be confused as to whether it passed or failed. (Perhaps both the test and the reference failed. It's been known to happen.) ~fantasai
