Comment (by pospeselr):

 I realize we might be a bit constrained by Mozilla's design language for
 Firefox, but speaking as someone that's mildly red-green colour-blind,
 please don't differentiate important states solely through a
 red/green/grey/orange colour change.  Even for colour-blind users that can
 tell a difference if they actually look at it (such as myself) the
 difference isn't going to be attention grabbing and may as well not exist.

 For .onion addresses, why not just add a Green onion icon beside whatever
 existing icon/text Firefox already uses to communicate HTTPS information?

 Something like this:
