To check the inclusion of your server in the hkps pool, look at the

Could you please explain the color-codes (on the page?).
Red/green is obvious, but I don't know where this "orange"
color for hkps sites comes from (SNI?)

Orange under the hkps column means that the server is vulnerable to CVE-2014-3207, which has been patched in SKS 1.1.5 [1,2].

The vulnerability isn't limited to hkps, but Kristian will at some point make 1.1.5 a requirement for being part of the hkps pool [3]. So the orange is left undocumented as it's intended as a temporary warning to admins (such as me!) who are yet to update their servers.

Thanks,
Andy
