Not to belabor the point, but in most apps - red is the universal
indicator for 'stop'... green is the universal indicator for 'go'...
so when a light on a channel can be light or dark green, yellow, orange
or red, even as experienced as I am, I get the feeling that the same
idiot that designed the Homeland Security terrorist alert system
designed these button colors...

Red = mute / Green = unmute ... seems simple enough... 5 colors meaning
- what? - (1) off, (2) might be off, (3) could be off or on, depending
on how you look at it, (4) on, but not loud, (5) turn it down, you're
breaking my eardrums.
