Warning Class assigned to Popular Articles

[JoshJourney]

As of Joomla 3.4 I noticed the admin index have an orange label for popular articles as seen here:

This is due to the class "badge-warning" being assigned when articles have a lot of hits (perhaps over 1,000). Seems strange to have a lot of blaring orange labels on that section of the page. On a different site of mine with less popular articles it looks like this:

This feels much friendlier on the eyes. Any thoughts on this subject? I'm sure there are many sites that have many articles over 1,000 hits.

Well, I agree the new colouring is maybe confusing.

I think a web site admin would get nervous when too few visits and happy when many.
With this in mind, I would expect the colouring scheme be vice versa, i.e. very low hit count = red, low hit count = orange, medium hit count = blue and high hit count = gray (or better: green?).

And it would be more useful even if the threshold values from one level to the other would be configurable.

Am curious on opinions.

P.S.: If I get much positive feedback on my comment above, I could try to make a PR (pull request, patch) for it.

Based on the fact that there have been no other comments on this in the last 8 months I am closing this.
