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.

In the current (early 2012) version of beamer, you want to use:

\setbeamercolor*{item}{fg=red}

instead.
