Thank you for the feedback! We currently use the less intense (or pale) red tone for the High risk category, as the full red color is reserved for Critical vulnerabilities: which allows for a clear visual distinction between “High” and “Critical”.
That said, we’d be happy to consider improving the visibility of the High label as well: but as red is already dedicated to Critical, how would you propose adjusting the “High” category?
We’re actually reviewing the UX of the plugin as we speak, so I have raised your feedback with regards to the colours of the ‘severity categories’ in this specific feature for consideration, as I can definitely understand where you’re coming from.
While I can’t say exactly how (or when) this might change yet, we’ve added the idea to use a more noticeable color (like solid orange) for the “High” severity category to the list of UX improvements that we’re exploring!
Thanks again for sharing this feedback. Let me know if you have any further questions!
