Change colors of blocking tasks in dependencies
Kris Lovin
When I see a red blocking task sign my brain registers "STOP" as in you cannot do this project yet. It would make more sense if the blocked tasks had the red icon, and the blocking task had yellow or even green meaning you can work on this. Red means stop, do not proceed. Stop signs. Stoplights. It is confusing. Please change the colors.

I agree. We have been waiting weeks for another team, as we marked their ticket as blocking ours, and they understood their ticket to be blocked, so didn't even look into it!
A blocking ticket is marked with a stop sign, which indicates don't touch, but the message should be opposite!

This is exactly right. Red means stop, it's that simple. I know it's a little thing but it's annoying to have to always explain this exception to the commonly understood convention every time I train a new person to use ClickUp. I hear this same point of confusion over and over again and it seems like it would be very easy for the ClickUp team to fix this. I hope this feature request post gets some more attention.

Better dependencies icon colors

The two icons for waiting on and blocking are good, but have the wrong color in my eyes.
The user has to do the red icon before the orange one - that is not very intuitive. Better would be the other way round in my eyes.
