Color selection according to status
I'm designing a system where a list item can have one of 5 different status options:
ACTIVE
LIVE
PENDING
LEGACY
INACTIVE
I want to specify a different color for every status.
For ACTIVE
, PENDING
and INACTIVE
i decided on Green, Orange and Red.
What colors should i use for LIVE
and LEGACY
?
Or maybe you can suggest different colors for the other statuses.
Also i added a Tooltip on mouse hover that shows the status name.
Thanks.
Quick edit
After talking to our product manager, it's now clear taht there is no view where ACTIVE
and LIVE
are in the same screen. so both of them can be Green.
All others can be in the same view.
