The foreground color on the Alarm Banner and Alarms List is designed to indicate the state of an alarm. The color that is used is dependent on the Severity settings in the Server Configuration Tool. When you modify the settings for a Severity, you can choose Colors to associate with the possible states of an alarm.
The alarms in the Alarms List and Alarm Banner are colored according to their Severity and the alarm state. For example, with the default color settings in place for the High severity, new High severity alarms use red as the foreground color.
