Change colour of frame title in beamer article

Question

I'm using the beamerarticle package and I would like to change the colour of the text that I give as the frame title. In the MEW below,

\documentclass[17pt]{article}

\usepackage{beamerarticle}

\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=red}

\begin{document}

\section{S1}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{ABC}
    a
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I would like the ABC to be printed in red. However, even after inserting the setbeamercolor command, it's still coming in black. I would appreciate help in resolving this.

EDIT: Yes, one option is that I manually use the color package in each title, but I would like to automate this so that with one command in one place, the color of each frame title can be changed, and I need not insert the color package command in each frametitle command I use.

Answer 1

Another approach could be to modify the beamer template for the frametitle:

\documentclass[17pt]{article}

\usepackage{beamerarticle}

\mode<article>{
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{\paragraph*{\color{red}\insertframetitle}\ \par\noindent\emph{\insertframesubtitle}\par}
}
\begin{document}

\section{S1}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{ABC}
    a
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Answer 2

You can use the command \textcolor{<required color>}{text}.

Code:

\documentclass[17pt]{article}

\usepackage{beamerarticle}

\begin{document}

\section{S1}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\textcolor{red}{ABC}}
    a
\end{frame}

\end{document} 

To automate the process, to ensure all frame titles are in red, you can do the following:

\documentclass[17pt]{article}

\usepackage{beamerarticle}

\newcommand{\myframetitle}[1]{\frametitle{\textcolor{red}{#1}}}

\begin{document}

\section{S1}
\begin{frame}
\myframetitle{ABC} 
    a
\end{frame}

\end{document}

You can define a new command \myframetitle in this case to meet your requirement.
