Big glowy green area? Could be a healing aura, could be poison. Good luck!
Nah this one is easy.
If it's green and sparkly, it's a good thing. If it's green and bubbly, it's a bad thing.
Given what Mountain Dew has done to me, that tracks.
Green w/ sparkly bubbles = Happy Drunk
Or radiation perhaps?
Or acid!
Or radioactiv acid!
I like the fallout approach
Green glow: radiation
Brown water: radiation
Bottled Water: Good!
Not really, believe it or not, radiation. (You must be thinking of purified water)
Purple: Magic??
Green: Life/death??
Red: Life/fire??
Blue: Magic/cold??
Honestly the only colour I don't feel uncertain about is orange, that's always bad.
Also on the topic of health potions, a great piece of advice I once heard was that if your players are in a foreign land, remove health potions. Give them health biscuits and watch them reconcile with God.
Orange is machinery/technology
FFXIV the stack markers are close to orange... and long time ago it had Bard having a fire circle that damaged enemies but not allies, yet the tanks thought it was bad and would drag enemies out of it. Probably why they removed that one.
