Bright Red

What kind of spider has a bright red body and bright red legs?

I live in the Triad in North Carolina. While I was taking a shower I noticed near the shower head there was a bright red spider. The front legs looked kind of weird. It wasn’t a crab spider, although that’s what the legs reminded me of. There was no web or anything in the bathroom so I guess it just crept in there. I would still like to know what kind of spider it was in case I see another one.
By the way, it was about the size as one of those coin dollars.

This time of year, when I see a spider question featuring the color red, I put my money on either Trachelas or Dysdera. Both are two-toned (red in front, white or gray in back) with red legs, although the red color varies from red to mahogany. The main obvious difference is that Dysdera has very large, forward-projecting chelicerae, while Trachelas has the more normal variety.
They’re both basically harmless, although both can give a definite nip with those large fangs.
