We could, in principle, say red is for LTR, blue is for RTL, and green
is for pop, and various shades and tints are for embedding and
override and isolate, and try to remember this mapping in addition to
remembering the embedding/override/isolate semantics, but some of us
will just prefer glyphs and deal with the occasional misalignment, and
also will someone please think of the colorblind.
