why yellow arrows
does it know if buff will run out
why 12hrs, make baskets 12hrs too
too many questions
I think yellow arrows are for things that are "used" up but not in the economy - bread, swords, etc.
here is how i understand it....(pictures for visual learners)
Green means your good all the way around... you are producing enough mats for the item you are making and all is good.

red means ... oh crap i am draining resources and if i don't upgrade/ build more or trade i am going to be SOL

now if you got yellow then something down the chain is draining.. so if your making bread but you drain water your arrow will be yellow. this is to say hey something in your chain is not cool....so it needs attention

i think you're right about colors
except green can also mean we're overproducing and growing fat and its not very efficient
if i were to color code, id make green only when its nearly balance for both minor surplus and deficit, red if itll run out or surpass storage capacity in next 12 hrs and yellow for everything else
Overproducing isn't always a bad thing. I would much rather make more of the things I need then not enough, all things being equal. You can always sell the surplus through trade. In my opinion it should stay green.
Clarification - Yellow means an item *immediately* behind in the chain is draining.
Draining wheat, for example, will turn Beer Yellow, but not Bread.
