Keyframe Colours

The colours used for keyframes might be counter-intuitive for newcomers. Typically the paradigm is red:bad ; orange:warning; green:ok

In Blender, we have mushy orange for a Keyframe not set and a different mushy yellow for an active keyframe.

Different colours?

What do you propose? Mockups would be great, you can change all those colors in your theme preference and show comparisons.

That's not just keyframes, orange is used for active colour in Blender in Object mode in the 3D Viewport, Outliner, pretty much everywhere.

Keyframes are orange for visual consistency with other areas.

In any case, it's already a theme option: colors
