Yes, another two colours might help, esp. if you can bring them into a 
tighter range.

I'd also suggest you not even use the red for the failure message. I 
think the standard messages are a bit too bright, esp. when the font is 
a bit rough at that resolution. I would write the '<service> ... ok' in 
a darker brown and then the '<service> ... failed' in a lighter tan. 
It's important that it's noticeable, but it needn't be in super-scary 
bright red.
