There are places in the documentation, such as API evolution changelogs
<http://docs-draft.openstack.org/08/490008/7/check/gate-ironic-api-ref/4bd711c//api-ref/build/html/#create-node>,
where the coloured items accumulate heavily. I'm afraid replacing red terms
with orange won't help reduce the visual clutter there. On the other hand I
understand why the ladybug is red.
