Your colouring should reflect the story you want to tell. What you are basically saying is that you are ok with a visualisation where red means good and green means bad as long as there is a scale/legend.

And your saying yellow is the opposite of blue here? Theres no inherent meaning to colors. We give them that meaning and we document it in the legend.

Thats just bad/lazy design that can easily end up being manipulative. With any form of design, you always have to assume that whoever looks at it later on is the laziest person on earth. Because thats the average.

Your argument is like saying intuitive design for smartphones is useless because people can just read the manual.
