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, Arnold
