What a clever suggestion and needless to say, I do agree with the above, 
specially this part:

/Personally I think the WARNING should //*not*//be easy on the eyes.  It 
SHOULD be jarring and make the user think about it... do I really want 
to dd this specific drive? The default should be red.  It is universally 
understood as stop/warning/danger./

As for changing the color, aren't we spoiling our users a lot? :P
