"What is the value of “red”?" I don't understand.

Here is the specific description:

1. Empty the .emacs file.
2. Add the following codes to the .emacs

(setq initial-frame-alist
      '((foreground-color . "grey80")
        (background-color . "black")
        (background-mode . dark)
	(cursor-color     . "red")))
(setq default-frame-alist
      '((foreground-color . "grey80")
        (background-color . "black")
        (background-mode  . 'dark)
        (cursor-color     . "red")))

(set-cursor-color "red")

These code is supposed to change the background color to black and the
cursor color to red. And these code works fine on the emacs 23.2.
