It's hard to put an exact color code to a specific number. The reason is the class factor, better horses work faster and have speed to spare whereas the cheaper horses tend to work slower.
I.e. As an example, I have found a distinct difference between MD Clm and MSW type races through some rigorist studies, as to their w/o %.
A horse's condition is forever changing do to different physical problems. Once over that their speed in both workouts and a race improve. A change or improvement is important. In Ted's example above is a good one where the 1 horse worked 82% and its best w/o rating since last race. Perhaps a best work for that horse should be in green?
It's an art to fit these works into the form cycle and that's where it pays. Of course, a maiden should have a gate work and layoff horses a 5F work is nice. If a horse is always working a 90 % it less meaningful than one that dosen't and works a 90%.
