Thanks all for following up. I'll consider the bug filed.
I should note for the record that if 'col=red' is replaced in my
code by 'col.main=red' the x axis is still made red.
I'll use the workaround for now (for which thanks). Even with little
things like this, plotting from the command
Three additional comments:
1. The same phenomena occurs on the y axis if the x and y values are
reversed.
2. I neglected to mention this last night (my time), but given that
chron is not part of the base R distribution, the proper procedure for
actually filing a bug against the package would be
Yes, its a bug. The calls to axis.times in plot.times use the same
col variable as the points do. This shows it more compactly:
library(chron)
x - seq.dates(from=09/30/2005, len = 10)
plot(x, 1:10, col = red)
A workaround would be to plot the X axis separately:
plot(x, 1:10, col = red, xaxt =

Thanks for the code and the clarifications, including the PDF file.
Yes, I can replicate the behavior here (R 2.2.0 on FC4) and I am cc:ing

It appears that the culprit is the argument 'col = red', which
