Green and Red Exercise widget color changes on Connect (IOS)

Why does the post exercise widget in Garmin Connect (IOS) go from green to red after I do an edit of the calories burned?  I use a table my doctor told me to use because I burn a lot more calories in an activity than a 30 year old.  I am 73.  So, I change the Garmin computed calories to the table my doctor told me to use based on my average heart rate, weight and age.  But after the change the widget is RED.  It would be nice if Gamin to these factors into their computations for calories burned.

    Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

    Thanks, the red is after editing and the green is prior to editing the calories.

    Each activity or activity category has its own color. Playing around with my own activities I've noted the following different colors. Also noted the icon in the top left corner of the red activity changed like the activity type changed. I could not get the color to change by just changing the calories.

    • Orange - Running
    • Orange (perhaps slightly lighter) - Strength Training
    • Green - Cycling
    • Light green - Walking
    • Red - Hiking
    • Blue - Open Water Swimming
    • Light-blue - Pool Swimming
    • Light blue - Diving
    • Blue (perhaps slightly lighter) - Yoga
    • Light-blue - Floor Climb
    • Red - Cardio, Gym & Fitness Equipment
    • Red - Custom activity (other)
