Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I am trying to make a JButton that is red, but at the same time maintains the default java Look and Feel. There is no problem with changing the color of the button with

button.setBackground(Color.RED);

but when I do that, I lose the texturing effect that the Look and Feel provides. I tried setting the color of the JButton as a color with an alpha channel, but this did not provide the result that I wanted, either. Then I tried overlaying a translucent JPanel over my JButton

button.add(maskingPanel);

but this creates incomplete coverage, and messes with the layout that I am using.
does anyone know how to "tint" JButtons?

thanks much in advance,
