Clarify colors of appointment status

Currently "showed up" and "scheduled" are both green. Changing "scheduled" to a different color (like blue) would make the difference between "showed up", "scheduled", and "no show" more distinct at a glance.

While it’s a good idea, we are trying to minimize using color as a differentiator because of the accessibility guidelines. We have went ahead and added colorblind mode to help with those having trouble with using the color-coded statuses.

Nick Armstrong Hi Nick, It's great that the colorblind mode was added! We would still greatly benefit from a way to differentiate between online and in person modalities, whether it is with use of color or symbols. Thanks!

Linda Hucks - Thanks for the additional feedback. This will help when determining to implement this idea in the future.

Along the same note, it would help to have color coding available in general so I can indicate a difference in service. For example, some of our tutors are online only for some hours and I would like to indicate that difference.

I was just about to put this in as a suggestion! This would be so helpful, especially when needing to cancel ALL appointments in order to easily see which ones are future appointments and past appointments in order to cancel.
