Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions.

The usage here is necessary. I often use the card in the upper right hand corner to show high level KPIs, which is usually a +/- variance. Green = good, red = bad.

I don't understand why this has so few votes. Perhaps there's another similar entry? Anyway, the best way to achieve this, IMHO, is to embrace web standards. Let me build my own visualization components using SVG and CSS.
