Map vs Gauges & Table Color Schemes

HousingAlerts uses two different color schemes, and knowing which is which prevents confusion:

The Map uses the full color spectrum — all ~10 colors of the color wheel (from red through orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and on to purple/magenta). The wide spectrum makes it easy to see many fine gradations of hot/cold and strong/weak across thousands of markets at once. On the Map, the warmest colors (toward red) are the strongest markets and the coolest (toward purple/magenta) are the weakest.

The Precision Market Tracker Map shaded on the full color spectrum with the Legend/Key showing the ~10-color gradient from strongest to weakest. — The Map uses the full color spectrum (see the Legend/Key at left) — warmest colors are the strongest markets, letting you see many gradations at once.

Tables, Gauges, and S.T.A.R. circles use a simplified 'traffic-light' scheme — green (strong) → yellow (neutral) → red (weak). With fewer values to show, three colors are clearer than ten.

So the same underlying strength can look different depending on where you're viewing it:

Component	Color scheme
Map Legend	Full spectrum (red → orange → yellow → green → blue → purple/magenta)
The Table	Traffic-light (green = strong → yellow → red = weak)
Gauges (Rank & RAW)	Traffic-light
S.T.A.R. Momentum circles	Traffic-light

The Table in the Precision Market Tracker using the green-to-red traffic-light scheme, strongest markets shaded green at the top. — The Table (and the gauges and S.T.A.R. circles) use the simpler green→yellow→red traffic-light scheme — green is strong, red is weak.

The key thing to remember: on the Map, red is strong; on the Table/gauges/S.T.A.R. circles, green is strong and red is weak. They're two deliberately different visual languages for two different jobs — a broad heatmap vs. a quick at-a-glance signal.
