Question

I have a striped black diamond using the class diamond (see fiddle here):

.diamond {
    border: 8px solid black;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 12%;
    width: 0;
    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.5) rotate(45deg);
}
.diamond:before {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: -37.5%;
    bottom: 0;
    left: -37.5%;
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(black 50%, transparent 50%);
    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.155) skewX(-30deg) rotate(30deg);
    background-size: 10px;
    content: '';
}

Now I want a class red that will make the diamond red, both the border and the stripes. I have managed to impose a red border, but not the red stripes. How can I modify the CSS for .red such that the stripes become red?

.diamond {
    border: 8px solid black;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 12%;
    width: 0;
    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0.5) rotate(45deg);
}
.diamond:before {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: -37.5%;
    bottom: 0;
    left: -37.5%;
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(black 50%, transparent 50%);
    -webkit-transform: scaleY(1.155) skewX(-30deg) rotate(30deg);
    background-size: 10px;
    content: '';
}
.red {
    border-color: crimson !important;
}
.red:before {
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(red 50%, transparent 50%);
}
