Easily readable Progress bars colors

The Render status and Tracking progress bars are not easily visible at a glance. Attached are the colors I use to make it easier to read even from a distance as well as to know when a process has terminated.

I propose we change the current camouflaged progress indicators to something that can be deciphered at a glance.

I agree that this might be important for the UI element but I would; instead of using color contrast, use more value contrast. Not maybe many colors blind are using Blender, but green and red are not good combinations together if someone is.

@Artturi Mäntysaari:

Agree maybe not the color .. but some sort of contrast. For me personally, i use 2 machines and need to see the progress from across the room.

Your proposal is to make those colors as default or just make that setting posible?

Cause it is already possible witin 10clicks to set that: i.imgur.com/53cu0JZ.png

Anyway make Red/green when everyting else is not saturated is weird.

Is this not already settable from theme colors? Progress Bar colors are adjustable in the Themes section in User Preferences.
