Good UI/UX practices and a warm-up

Sally wants to know if her portfolio is doing well, and so, you decide to build a dashboard for her.

Suppose there are only two stocks in her portfolio - Apple (AAPL) and Disney (DIS). The variables considered are open, high, low, close and volume (OHLCV).

The data have been stored as apple and disney. The helper functions are as follows:

get_name(): Get the name of each company
most_recent(): Get the most recent OHLCV values
most_recent_pct(): Get the most recent percentage changes in OHLCV
plot_line(): Plot the trend of OHLCV values with respect to date
box_color(): Get the color to be displayed, based on whether if the given value is positive (green), negative (red), or zero (blue)

You decide to beautify the interface, to help Sally navigate the dashboard easily.

Possible answers

Use green for a positive percentage change and red for a negative change.
