Currently, the line item colors in Acquisition associate to the current status of the item. They are as follows- https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/eg/docs/latest/acquisitions/selection_lists_po.html#line_item_colors.
Traditionally, colors in the red family are associated with a negative, so if you are new to Acquisitions this color coding is a little difficult to acclimate to. Conversely, the lighter colors can be difficult to see or distinguish between one another.
We’d like to propose a review of the colors for accessibility and adjusting the colors to have the red or pinks used for statuses like Canceled and Delayed.
Perhaps something like this:
Using Current Colors Using New Colors
New White/No BackGround White
Selector Ready Light Yellow Light Yellow
Order Ready Light Olive Green Medium Yellow
Pending Order Light Gray Light Orange
On Order Medium Gray Medium Orange
Received Medium Blue Medium Blue
Delayed Light Pink Light Red
Cancelled Medium Pink Medium Red
I discussed the line item status colors recently with a friend who used to use Evergreen daily. She confirmed that with her type of red/green color blindness, the statuses were "a nightmare" to tell apart.
Pilestone's simulation tool matched her experience (or at least, she couldn't tell any difference between the actual screenshot and the simulation). This should be useful for testing new potential color schemes:
