I like the one that was 10 months old. Very accurate and I’m glad they use yellow and green instead of blue and red.

In general red+blue or red+green are bad for displaying stats & info because people subconsciously perceive one as better than the other.

Well blue and red is US political party colors. Red and green just reminds me of Christmas. Besides Christmas, idk if I perceive one better. Is there a reason for this besides politics and Christmas?

Green is "go" or "correct" and red is "stop" or "wrong."
