It's great that you understand the chart. Yellow being more optimal than green is very far from intuitive to the rest of us. We read green then yellow then red as a sign of DECREASING fit. And a bunch of blues next to that green to red progression reads as "no data" or "not relevant" or something. It's great that you have the data. I'm sure that took a lot of time to obtain. Spending a few more percent of your total…
Oh for sure - your feedback is totally helpful, I agree the colors are not obvious (especially red being good), perhaps my tone sounded dismissive but that was not the intention at all - symtom of a quick response from my phone! I'll definitely work on improving the readability of the colors and what it means (tricky to find the balance between nerdily over explaining how it works)

the color allocation is closer to chinese symbolism than western. You don't need to change it, just describe it somewhere, probably with a rainbow strip, maybe bottom right, like a scale symbol on a map.
Now when clicking on the 'dealscope' button there's a little modal which tries to clear it up a bit.

>Yellow being more optimal than green is very far from intuitive to the rest of us Disagree. Yellow as a progression away from the green/blue (that fade away into gray) towards red is quite obvious.
