Unique colours for each status

[davidjgoss]

Currently, we represent our result statuses with these colours:

• PASSED - green
• SKIPPED - cyan
• PENDING - yellow
• UNDEFINED - yellow
• AMBIGUOUS - red
• FAILED - red

It would be good for clarity if each status had its own colour. We don’t have a lot of options left in the context of ANSI terminals though.

We could separate FAILED from AMBIGUOUS by changing the latter to magenta.

PENDING and UNDEFINED is trickier - they are sort of part of the same workflow in theory, but I’d still rather have a distinction even if small.

Maybe pivoting one of the yellows to orange?

I think we can fix this by doing a slightly larger shuffle:

• PASSED - green
• SKIPPED - cyan => yellow
• PENDING - yellow => cyan
• UNDEFINED - yellow => blue
• AMBIGUOUS - red => magenta
• FAILED - red

This maps red/green/yellow to the common passed/skipped/failed wit the same colors (in my ecosystem anyway). And puts (in my eyes) both pending and undefined steps in the blueish colors.

React

I'm pretty happy with that.

Great stuff!
