Olly,

If you use aterm, then the command is:
        aterm -bg black -fg white -tr-trsb -tint red

The 'bg' and 'fg'  set basic background and foreground (font) colors, the 
'tint' option is of course for the red coloring, the 'tr' indicates 
transparent background, and 'trsb' makes even the scrollbar transparent.

Don't know the syntax for other terminals. I know konsole has a menu 
option to select transparent, but I don't know if you can select a color 
tint.
