For the matrix-mixer in ffado-mixer (only in some devices present) I used:
high (max) = red
mid (0dB) = yellow
low (lowest above mute) = blue
mute = black
I also thought about making it dependent of the color-scheme. Like background
for mute and from there on to the highlight-background for max. But there you
don't get as many colors. Which is nice from a designers pov but to
distinguish the values better, two or three different colors should be used
imho.
Have fun,

And if you really need to save space: Use it like
a slider, paint it as a
color-field with the value as number and color...
That's actually a neat idea, color for immediate visual feedback. I
imagine the problem is the colors. What would be sane? I guess three
basic colors and interpolate between them?
low = blue
middle = yellow
high = top
It needs to be rather intuitive. I guess the more colors the less
intuitive it will become. Maybe two are enough.
I wonder which color would best represent 'low' or 'bottom'.
Blue, black?
