Green/blue inconsistencies

Make up your mind @dreev ! Am I in the blue or the green?

Interesting. This seems to be an artefact of setting a custom road width.

By the custom road width of 1000, it’s clearly green because you’re above it.

By the ‘natural’ road width of 2500 (related to your slope), it would be in the upper lane, so blue.

I suspect that the graph colour is set by something related to beebrain that generates the graphs (and so knows/cares about road width), and that the headline blue colour is based on the time-to-derailment.

Agreed that it would be good for these to be consistent, and I think that the headline colour is more correct, since it’s related to the potential derailment.

Dashboard colors don't match goal page colors on Do More goals

I have two goals with two safe days that are showing orange on the dashboard: [image] But on the goal pages they’re showing blue, eg: [image] I know some goals are tricky in terms of safe days vs colors, but these are straightforward Do More goals where the lane width is a day’s worth of effort. Probably worth fixing (if possible) to lower newbee confusion. (I note that these two goals appear to need exactly a day’s worth of effort to stay on track, which means they’re right on the boundary…

What do the colors actually mean?

Right now I have a goal that’s orange. It has 21 days of safety buffer, but also has a long take-a-break with a rate of 0 upcoming. In the past I’ve noticed goals that were blue when I’d expected them to be green. It seemed to have to do with not entering data for them that day, but then again, I have many goals I haven’t entered data for that are green. I’ve heard that “do less” goals have unintuitive colors sometimes as well, though I haven’t used them. What is the actual logic that decid…
