Just a note that X percent of the population is colorblind. I'm not, but I have a couple of colleagues who are, and I've made graphics that are unreadable for them.

Its a good idea to use "Delete" in addition to color, multiple signals can avoid problems like color blindness.

Monochromacy is somewhere around 1 in 10 million. Typical red-green color blindness won't have a problem with the shades chosen.
