I ask because I see a light green 11% as well as a yellow 11% on the sample sheet. Thanks.

I used the default setting for Excel's 3 color scale.
Here is Microsoft's explanation for this scale.
- Explanation: by default, for 3-Color scales, Excel calculates the 50th percentile (also known as median, middle value or midpoint). The cell that holds the minimum value is colored red.
- The cell that holds the median is colored yellow,
- and the cell that holds the maximum value is colored green. All other cells are colored proportionally.
Each factor has it's own color scale so what is light green in one factor may be a different shade of green in another factor's scale.
It's possible to set up your own scale rules but I never tried that.
