A clarification ...
The red pencil was use by the architect when in a meeting with the client to review the structure's design and any changes were made on a print with a red pencil. The red pencil made it easy for the draftsman to locate the changes.
Using the print as a guide, the original drawing would then be taped down to the board and each change indicated by red pencil would be made to the original drawing and then, to indicate that the change had been made to the original drawing, the red pencil marks on the print would be "struck out" with a scribble of yellow marker. The final change to the original was changing the "Revision" Letter ("Rev. B") in the title block of the drawing.
At that point, a new print would be made of the revised drawing, the original goes back in the flat file drawer and the new print gets folded a very specific way that presents as an 11"x14" package, with the title block in the lower right corner, and placed on the architect's desk.
But colored pencil is never used on the original drawing!
Ah ... the exciting inner workings of an architect's office.
