What the PagerDuty Logo Colors Mean?
The PagerDuty logo colors say resolved, not broken. A company whose whole product is the alarm going off could reasonably have picked red or amber, and green is the deliberate opposite: the state you are paying to get back to. The mark is a stylized P built from two vertical bars. Green also does something practical on a status page, where red and amber are already spoken for by the incident itself and a brand color competing with them would be a real problem.

Brand colors are chosen for recognition, not for legibility. A failing value here is normal. It means use it as a fill, not as text.
