The title under amsart is set in CAPITAL LETTERS. As such, merely using



title{textcolor{red}{The} title}


doesn't work out-of-the-box because there is no colour RED. However, it's simple enough to define RED to be the same as red:



enter image description here



documentclass{amsart}



usepackage{xcolor}



colorlet{RED}{red}

title{textcolor{red}{The} title}

author{An Author}



begin{document}



maketitle



end{document}
