Shouldn't the battery-charging icon be blue instead of green?

Bug Description

In the suru theme, the battery-XXX-charging icons use green as a "this is charging" indication.

But with the new suru color updates from Design, I could see an argument that this color should be blue instead.

Green is used for "positive" things (like default buttons, checked boxes, or "on" switches). Blue is used for progress bars and values that are in a range / more complicated than on or off (e.g. volume).

While "charging" is indeed the positive state of "charging / not charging", the amount of charge strikes me as a blue thing (the battery is filling up like a progress bar).

I dunno. Just wanted to see what Design thought about it.

Since this is touch-specific, probably "Won't Fix". Although I suspect the colour did change in the year after this bug was reported(?)
