COLOR
PURPOSE
RED
Used to indicate flight envelope and system limits, and
for warning annunciations that require immediate pilot
recognition and which may require immediate pilot
correction or compensatory action. Red is used to indicate
Data Link Weather cell movement and precipitation areas,
and terrain and obstruction data.
GREEN
Used for navigation information or mode data related
to or provided by the selected navigation source (i.e.
navigation deviations, equipment operating state, waypoint
information). Green is also used to indicate Data Link
Weather precipitation areas, terrain data, and the status of
user controls (i.e., ON, enabled, or active).
AMBER
Used to indicate abnormal information sources, and for
caution information that requires immediate pilot awareness
and for which subsequent pilot action may be required.
Amber is used to indicate Data Link Weather precipitation
areas, WX-500 data and terrain and obstructions data.
WHITE
Used to show primary flight data (e.g. IAS, ALT, and HDG),
scales, and menu items that are selectable for editing.
MAGENTA
Used for pilot-selectable references (bugs) that have been
enabled for editing, to identify the selected WINDOW or field,
for depicting the active GPS navigation leg on a moving map
display, to indicate datalink weather precipitation areas, and
for depicting the flight director.
GRAY
Used to show supplemental flight data and for hotkey and
menu legends that are OFF, disabled, or inactive.
CYAN
Used to indicate editable values that are not currently
selected for editing, for bearing pointers depictions, and for
areas outside of the terrain database coverage area.
BLUE
Used to indicate the sky, Data Link Weather precipitation
areas, and navigation map features.
BROWN
Used to indicate the ground.
