What is the opposite of red?

I recall from my erstwhile years at the University of the Philippines schoolmates who had later joined the Philippine Military Academy, one of whom became chief of the Philippine Navy. My own high school class of Xavier University Ateneo de Cagayan, also red-tagged by neo-McCarthyist supremo Antonio Parlade, had produced only one leftist cadre in contrast to, among others, a secretary of agriculture, an undersecretary of tourism, a public health doctor, law and medical professors, a college dean, a congressman, and two municipal mayors. The leftist cadre was held in high esteem, standing tall among the sterling as the class salutatorian.
