Apparently a new color definition (sys_report_color) “Risk Progress” has been introduced with New York release, changing the heatmap colors from using native UI14 Green/Red/Yellow to “Risk Progress Critical/High/Medium/Low/None”. They are no longer vivid, they look faded and washed out. This is confirmed by taking a look at NY release application files and searching for “sn_risk_color_setting” records.
According to Changes to New York features and products (https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/newyork-release-notes/page/release-notes/summary/rn-summary-changes.html), it has been improved color contrast and modernized visualizations in the Performance Analytics and Reporting applications create a more consistent user experience.
