Not sure if this has been widely seen, but @Nate_Pearson answered above that you will be able to see where adaptations are being recommended by RLGL:
Yeah, I honestly don’t get it. Yellow means do Endurance, unless you don’t, which is fine, and Red means stop, unless you don’t, and then that’s fine too, there’s a good chance it’ll still be green tomorrow. Maybe It’s just me, but the advice that comes from RLGL seems to all be gray.
I think RLGL is harder to “get” if you aren’t accustomed to using something to help track fatigue. I’ve been using the PMC in TrainingPeaks for a long time, so to me RLGL makes perfect sense. But I can put myself back to when the PMC was new to me and I didn’t really “get” that at first either. But the learning/comfort curve was pretty rapid.
Well I definitely find it fun. Without seeing the workouts themselves I could scroll through my history and identify when I was using TrainerRoad, when I was using Xert, when I was just doing whatever I wanted purely from the colors, the number of reds and yellows, and their distribution.
TR is lines of yellows and reds, with ~2 - 3 red days per week, ~2-3 yellow and the rest ‘green’.
Xert is basically a sea of yellow.
Me just riding is mostly green, with ramps of yellow, and maybe a red day 3-4 times a month. With occasional red blocks for when I did something nutty, festive500, coast ride, ofgitdf, etc.
I think this all makes perfect sense. TR often was as I was starting ‘again’ and had a high ramp and no guard rails (historically). Xert tracked ability closely and prescribed achievable work based upon my current status, which for a chronic rider like me often meant high volume, low intensity.
When I just rode how I wanted, some days I’d get after it or I’d do some crazy thing, and then I’d be tired and take it easy on the bike for a bit. Like I was wont to say, the nice thing about riding a bike is, if you’re tired you just ride slower. 
The indicators are purely physiological, but the subject has free will.
Some people will think; I’m paying for someone else to figure out my training, if it says “rest” I will rest.
Some people will think; I’m paying for someone else to figure out my training, how dare they stop me from training.
So you have essentially a series of warning lights you can ignore or follow.
My calendar is now colourful going back years, yours might always be green.
Unless TR is starting a new oxymoron feature naming convention, it’s reasonable for anyone to expect Green somewhere in play since it’s literally half the name… and Red makes appearances whenever appropriate.
Considering that Yellow is the other color actually displayed, they’d have done better to call it Red Light Yellow Light at the very least.
Just wads up my logic driven mindset like other oddities.
You mean “Amber”. As in corporate RAG.
I’ve got to applaud you at this point, Chad. You’re consistent, dogged, determined and tenacious in banging the naming drum.
Who the hell is Amber? by ROYGBIV 
More like stubborn to a fault and I need to shut up since Nate has addressed pretty much every other comment but mine… e.g. the lack of an answer is the answer that it won’t change. 
I will just SMH head from now on whenever the issue pops up, as I expect it will because it breaks simple logic.
Momentum is a terrible thing to waste 
There are quite a few comments above by people confused by the name…
Millenials, sheesh. 
At the ripe old age of 50 now… my “GEN X” labeling is offended
lol, not you…him. Answering by not answering. gen X BABAY! Obviously we dgaf. 
Ahhh… I gotchya now
And he thinks he’s fussy. Pfft.
Trust me, you’re not alone
But I have a feeling I’m the guy that said I was burned out, but all they could find was I failed one threshold workout and gave up. 
Ah good times, good times. Genuinely learned something from rlgl (or rlal), so it was all worth it.
At some point it will all just be part of AT and no need for special name. TR will just say that AT got enhanced by visual indicators in the career / calendar and that’s it.
