If you have a website which is predominantly red, then your red Call to Action button won't stand out at all.

Definitely more testing is needed, but my short term answer is incredibly bright flashing animated gifs (like you see in the banner ads that go through all colors of the rainbow in under a second). I actually found Firefox's a bit difficult. I think partly because it was so big, and I did not recognize it as a button, and because only the link was clickable instead of the whole green area.
