I say the color should be brown, then...
Brown and orange are the same hue, just different intensities :-)
But I would also like a "hey it's really, really bad" notification. We page when there is 30 minutes left on a UPS. I'd like to page again when there is 5 minutes left (and it's not always 25 minutes later...)
Another instance is that we page when it is over 80 degrees F in a comm room. I'd like to page again when it gets to 100...
I know I could write additional tests and have columns for both upsmin and upsfailimminent, but a third threshold would be easier to maintain...

I think the concept is Level 1: "warning everyone, something bad could happen, or might not, may want to look" - Yellow Level 2: "Hey look, it was just a warning before, but now, it's bad and service might be interrupted unless you take action, this is your last chance buddy!" - Red Level 3: "I've told you repeatedly, and now look whats happened! You've reached super critical orange level! That means within minutes your service will be dead. run for the hills, the sky is falling, the phone is about to ring non-stop" - Orange i think 3 levels makes sense for some specific applications.
