1) The Red and Green of a console are of a similar intensity, so some
people with Red/Green colour blindness would be unable to
distinguish them if they were both coloured.
Red and White means that R/G colour blind people can still see the
FAIL notifications.
2) All human eyes are drawn to colour. It's much easier for almost
everybody to pick out a splash of red in a sea of white, than it is
to pick out a splash of red in a sea of mixed colours.
