Why is my good score in red?

ParPro colours golf numbers the way a golf scoreboard does, not the way most apps do.

What the number saysColour
Under par (a good score)Red
Level par / evenGreen on ordinary pages
Over par (a worse score)Dark, nearly black
Strokes gained, a positive number (good)Red
Strokes gained, exactly 0.00Muted grey — not green
Strokes gained, a negative number (worse)Dark, nearly black

On a golf leaderboard, red has always meant under par. A red number on your round is a good score.

Exactly 0.00 strokes gained means the shot was neither better nor worse than the benchmark. That is not an achievement, so it is grey rather than green.

This is not an error, and it is not a "bad score" colour.
