Changing the colour of \textbullet in LaTeX Beamer

I don't want to use Beamer's standard blue colour theme. I want to use beaver, which is deep reds. Everything looks nice, except that if I use itemize the bullet points are still blue. Is there a nice way to have the bullets vary with what colour theme I was using? (If I were to opt for a yellowish colour theme, I'd expect the bullets to go yellow too.)

If there isn't, what is the brute force way to change the bullet points red? Or at the very least, make them go back to black again.

Solution

    This works for me:

    \setbeamercolor{itemize item}{fg=red} % all frames will have red bullets

\begin{frame}

  \begin{itemize}
    \item First item.
    \item Second item.
    \item Third item.
    \item Fourth item.
  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}
