The 5 color alert system now in use does not provide adequate specificity to keep the public aware of the exact threat level. A scale from infrared to ultra violet would provide increased granularity in the threat warning levels thereby allowing citizens to know precisely the actual threat level. Furthermore, it would allow us to specify verbally the associated threat level by using the most precise color, as in "today's threat level is mauve."

LOVE what you've done with this five-color alert system. (Would you do my living room?)

It would be more effective to use the actual color values...

A top level threat would be
R:255
G:0
B:0

Today, perhaps...
R:248
G:164
B:65

See, far more exact and far less confusing. I mean, what guy actually knows what mauve looks like.
