the color allocation is closer to chinese symbolism than western. You don't need to change it, just describe it somewhere, probably with a rainbow strip, maybe bottom right, like a scale symbol on a map.
If that's the intuition you want, then wouldn't it be natural to use the blackbody radiation spectrum (a.k.a. "color temperature")? Red hot -> white hot -> blue hot.

Oh good point - I was thinking more like "how hot is this deal" (and thus red == best) as opposed to just "good or bad".
Now when clicking on the 'dealscope' button there's a little modal which tries to clear it up a bit.
