Yes, this would be consistent with our design guidelines for the indicators.

 * the indicator can turn colour [green - affirmative, blue - 
informational, red - warning]
 * the relevant section in the indicator (in this case, software update 
line in the menu) goes the same colour to create a thread from the 
indicator to the menu action

Mockups and bugs welcome.
