OK. I think it's worth exploring this. Otto, can you work up a semantic
palette for us? Perhaps a blue version of that icon, just in a PPA?
Personally, my expectation is that green vs orange/red is as far as we

informing" colour and am willing to at least try it.

Your choice of blue, of course :-)
