My suggestion doesn't relate to how it LOOKS, but rather how the colors COMMUNICATE: blue and green are BOTH rather "mellow", peaceful, "ok" colors, as in, "it's ok, you've already read this"; whereas red, as in traffic lights, means STOP, as in, STOP, READ THIS.

However, it is not a problem if I haven't read something so a red light associated with that might be seen as inappropriate. It could be a case of "oh, I haven't read X, oh well whatever". The "STOP, READ THIS" is not the only way people approach forum posts.

What's intrinsically wrong with "mellow", peaceful, "ok" colors?
