Why is "Active Incident" and "System Wide Outage" on the status page with a background color of green? Why not red?

At first glance it looks like everything is operational with no issues.

The color is green because GitLab.com is accessible again.

"Active Incident" remains because our team is still working towards full recovery.

"System Wide Outage" is the description of the incident at its onset.

I noticed that too. Pretty confusing to read "Operational" with a green background and "System Wide Outage" on the left side.
