Hello A33Zab

Thanks for pointing that out. Conforming to the existing color code scheme adds consistency to the a/c-human interface.

Elaborating further:

F - fatal --- most important, and highest priority -- ignoring may be fatal.
W - warning --- awareness of an abnormal condition is important, but ignoring it does not have fatal consequences
I - informational - information only, for pilot awareness.

The simplicity of a 3 LED Error Panel is a reincarnation of similar effective mechanisms used in the past.

(1) Emergency/Fatal - maybe RED , (2) Warning - maybe Yellow,
(3) Informational - maybe Blue.
AKA as ECAM.
LEDs are in Master Warning [RED] & Master Caution [Amber]
and comes with audible alarms & chimes.
