Thank you all for the clarification. You've provided my boss with an early
Christmas present.

I agree with Mr Hale: we need to reserve the term "rubricated" for
manuscript rubrications.

"Rubricated, as used in descriptions of MSS or early printed books, 
generally means that initial capitals and/or paragraphs have been painted 
in red"--Carter. That's painted, not printed. If a book is merely printed 
in red and black (as in many liturgical works) you would simply say 
"printed in red and black" or something similar.
