Color coding indicates centile bands

Fruit color is used to indicate different levels (deciles) of performance.

Based on the concept of traffic lights: red (to be improved), yellow (not yet completely improved), green (acceptable).

Fruit Background color Top-box (L5), top-two boxes (L4+L5),
average (L1+L2+L3+L4+L5)/5
Bottom-box (L1),
bottom-two boxes (L1+L2)
