How does the ECAM indicate the importance of a failure or indication?

The ECAM (Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitoring) system employs color conventions to communicate the urgency and significance of a failure or indication to the flight crew. Different colors are used to categorize the severity of alerts: for example, red denotes a critical failure that requires immediate attention, while amber indicates caution or advisory messages that still need to be addressed but are not as urgent. This color-coding helps pilots quickly assess the situation and prioritize their responses accordingly. The effective use of color in the ECAM system is designed to enhance situational awareness and safety during flight operations.
