Colour coding for the prices #40

image So, I do want to say that I love this card! But one thing driving me mad is the colour coding for high and low prices. It's probably looking especially janky for me as I'm on a predictable tariff with a low, mid, and high price, but here we go;

1: Buy price: Can we make it so that this is more representative of the buy prices available to me; i.e. Red for high, yellow for mid, green for low? 2: Sell price: Can we make it so that this has colour coding, where it's Green for high, yellow for mid, and red for low?

Thanks so much in advance; and please let me know if I'd need to make some tweaks in predbat to help recategorise the prices.

Have you read the explanation of how predbat colours the import and export prices https://springfall2008.github.io/batpred/predbat-plan-card/#understanding-the-predbat-plan ?

"but in essence Predbat will consider blue and green-coloured slots as preferred candidates for importing, yellow and red (higher rates) will not. ... Yellow and Red coloured export rates will be considered as priorities for exporting, White will not."

I knocked the colours back a bit a while ago to make them less garish, but in terms of the red/amber/green, these are dynamic based upon the import and export thresholds which are automatically changed by Predbat based upon where you are in the forward plan. It's not a simple concept like high/medium/low, and of course different people's ideas of h/m/l will be different depending on the tariff they are on.
