 Absolutely new to Breathe, chiming in because this was reported in the
 Italian forums. The resolved/unresolved state is conveyed via a "border"
 (actually a CSS generated element background) color. Red or green.

 For accessibility, color alone is not sufficient to convey such an
 important information and it would need an additional indicator, a
 different shape or something like that. Worth reminding the most common
 form of color perception impairment is about green and reds.

 Also, I'm not 100% sure if it is actually used, but besides the red
 `#e6000a` I see some occurrences of `red` which translates to `#ff0000`
 and when used against white under this red gives a contrast ratio under
 the 4.5:1  recommended by the WCAG level AA.
