Bug or feature: tikz interprets color specification differently for rectangles
When drawing a rectangle, Tikz interprets color in two different ways, depending on in which order it is specified among the options.
In the example below: When color is specified first, as in the first two example, it is used to color the frame of the rectangle---as I'd expect. But in the third rectangle, the red color specification actually fills the rectangle with red. Is this expected?
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[color=red,very thick] (0,0) rectangle (1,1);
draw[color=red,very thick,fill=blue] (2,0) rectangle (3,1);
draw[very thick,fill=blue,color=red] (4,0) rectangle (5,1);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

You are using the wrong key. color sets fill and draw (if they are set to a color, i.e. it will not add a fill color if you do not specify fill). Use draw to change the frame.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[color=red,very thick] (0,0) rectangle (1,1);
draw[color=red,very thick,fill=blue] (2,0) rectangle (3,1);
draw[very thick,fill=blue,draw=red] (4,0) rectangle (5,1);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Yes because this option rewrites the colors on the draw, fill operations, i quote the 3.0.1a manual on page 165:
/tikz/color=<color name> (no default)This option sets the color that
is used for fill, drawing, and text inside the current scope.
