Turned red, say (4)

I think it could be either:

dyed

ired

'turned red say' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dyed that I've seen before include "Artificially coloured" , "not natural?" , "Tinted" , "Changed to a new colour" , "(Of fabric) coloured" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
