Heck, I'm not colorblind and I had trouble seeing the difference between "service disruption" and "service outage" at first in the legend at the bottom of the page.

It wasn't until I zoomed in on them that I could see that one was orange and the other red. Once I saw them zoomed, I could then identify which was which at normal size on the status part of the page.

BTW, the orange circle is actually a span whose class is "aad-yellow-circle", and whose CSS loads the colored circle from the file yellow_circle.png.

This suggests that at one time they intended it to be a yellow circle, not an orange circle [1]. I wonder why they switched from yellow to orange?

[1] Actually, RGB to name sites suggest that it is neon carrot.
