Quick Maintenance Colour Scheme

[Octavious]

Can anyone tell me why the Quick Maintenance bars in the space station menus are red when everything is fine, and the fuel is full, and standard orange, when they need attention. Seems counter intuitive to me but there must be a reason...

Maybe the station is on lockdown.
Or if you happen to be in the Beta that stuff gets disables when connected to multicrew

Not all stations have all services.

I once landed at a station with no canopy and 3 minutes of air left only to find they had no repair functions there. Got to an orbital with 7 secs of air to spare.

That's not quite what I meant. The quick fuel, repair and equip status bars are orange when attention is needed,and go red when full. Just seems topsy turvy to me. Thought there must be a reason,or maybe it's just me,would like to know either way

 

[Father Giliam]

I see what you mean, but its most likely chosen that way as people will learn that red means it can't be clicked, while orange can be, like the other menus.

 

[Shadowdancer]

Yeah, that dark red is used to mark inactive menu points. It may be a bit unfortunate choice of indication.

That makes sense, good explanations, I can let it go now
