Colour zones
How do low, high and optimum colour the meter?
low and high split the range into three zones: below low, between low and high, and above high. optimum says which zone is best. A value in the same zone as optimum is drawn green, a value one zone away is yellow, and a value two zones away is red. Leave optimum out and it defaults to the middle of the range.
| Where optimum is | Value below low | Value between low and high | Value above high |
|---|---|---|---|
Above high (higher is better, e.g. password strength) | Red | Yellow | Green |
Between low and high (middle is best, e.g. temperature) | Yellow | Green | Yellow |
Below low (lower is better, e.g. disk usage) | Green | Yellow | Red |
