Thank you for the response, but I have warmed up to this new color in 
the years since the change was made. Maybe not very indicative of being 
a warning, it is nevertheless more noticeable than DarkOrange.

Which is a nice property to have.

If you really like the suggestion, I welcome you to play with the color 
change a little. Otherwise, we can just close this.
