Bug Description
In service blocks and the inspector we use green to signify health and red to signify errors. In the inspector's unit break-down, we use shapes nicely to distinguish between the two (circle vs triangle) but the status bar has no such help.
Because we have the unit break-down, I think this is not urgent, but it would be nice if the status bar could also be read by green/red color blind users. Perhaps we could incorporate the shapes into the status bar?

This is most probably because the 3 colours are all very similar in colour,
we'll work on tweaking the colours to solve this issue.
