Price values

Use high contrast text coloring

Suppose your theme makes data difficult to see because of the data font color. High contrast coloring automatically fixes that issue by using a font color that contrasts better with the current theme. This preference is on by default.

When you use price coloring, the price font color changes from black to red (up) or green (down). It is off by default.

Use trade coloring

Trade coloring is used for symbols to indicate trade up, down, flat as well as delayed and unrecognized symbols.
