Red Cisco IP Phone on E-Ring

Even though the new NBC series E-Ring kinda sucked, they did feature a sleek red Cisco IP phone as the secure line they use to discuss matters of national security.  They even added a little sticker to the handset that says “Top Secret”.  My question: is this red phone actually produced in a red color at Cisco Systems, or is it a product of Hollywood magic (and some carefully-masked spray painting)?

    I think this was the hollywood spray-paint option, I have not yet seen any of these phones but I will be on the lookout. I do however have a phone on my desk that is labeled: “79XX SERIES”. I do not think they have a name for it yet, but it’s basically a 7960 with more RAM, higher resolution LCD, and it seems like more resilient switching.
