What does the colour coding in the impact assessment results mean in openLCA?

Question

Hi,

I am running an LCA in openLCA using the ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H) method and I noticed that the impact assessment results are colour-coded (green squares, blue squares, and red squares) next to the numerical values, as shown in the attached screenshot.

Could someone clarify what the colour coding means in this context? Specifically:

- What does green indicate?

- What does blue indicate?

- What does red indicate?

Is it related to the magnitude of the impact, the sign of the value (positive/negative), or something else entirely?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

ok - green is good, blue is small, red is negative.
