Red isn't stressful unless you make it stressful - and if you're worried about getting a bad grade, the color it's written in won't matter.

Yes, except that assumes that all comments by a teacher are negative, when they're not. So, if all teachers grade in red, you get both good and bad comments in red. Both good and bad grades in red.

As I said-- the negative feedback has more impact than the positive, so teachers who provide an equal amount of positive and negative comments will be perceived by their students as very critical.
