In short
Why strong wind is green, how to reverse colours, and why arrows point where the wind goes.
Seabreeze wind arrows answer two questions at once: direction (where the wind is going) and strength band (colour).
Why is strong wind green?
On many charts red means danger. Early Seabreeze graphs used green for stronger wind so “good sailing breeze” stood out in a friendly way. That heritage remains the default for many views.

Which way do arrows point?
Arrows point where the wind is going (downwind), not the compass direction the wind is coming from. That trips up a lot of first-time visitors — it is intentional.
