HACK RATING SYSTEM

Obviously none of the people who designed this system had ever heard of the phrase "blue and green should never be seen without something in between"
To me, this sounds much more like heraldry than fashion sense. In heraldry one doesn't put a color next to a color because they blend together at a distance and make recognition harder (makes sense for an alert system too, I suppose, except the next bit) - one would put a "metal" or something to divide the colors (furs debateable, tinctures frowned upon) on top and metals should really be the metal and shiny.

Hark the Herald Alfgar Screams
Tune of Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Hark the Herald Alfgar screams
don't use blues on top of greens.
Or and Argent that's all right
metals and tinctures do not fight.
Use a bend, no highland plaids
keep it simple please my lads.
Azure, vert, purpure, and gules
must follow all my herald's rules.
Hark the Herald Alfgar screams
don't use blues on top of greens.

I don't think it's necessarily an issue of offensive colors but that if this system is supposed to be effective, one should be able to tell the alert status and for many people with colorblindness, they wouldn't be able to distinguish between the green and the blue.
Except the system ISN'T supposed to be effective. And that's why we're mocking it by parodying it on MATY.

I wish. It's a lot more Viking than that. But too uncommon to reveal.

Scibirg is norwegian also...my grandfather's family all second generation Norwegian immigrants. Any Testmans left there or heard of that name?
