If you use the green/red metaphore (as in walk/stop) they will be in
some trouble. If you use the red/blue metaphore instead (as in hot/cold)
it will work just fine. If green is important, you can use a scale from
turquise thru violet to magenta. Add some variation in light intensity
and it will even make sense on B/W screen.

Except in China ;-)
Last time I checked, rivers flew from the top of the mountains, thru the
valleys below, and out in the ocean. Even in China :)
