Big glowy green area? Could be a healing aura, could be poison. Good luck!

Nah this one is easy.

If it's green and sparkly, it's a good thing. If it's green and bubbly, it's a bad thing.

Given what Mountain Dew has done to me, that tracks.

Or radioactiv acid!

I like the fallout approach

Green glow: radiation
Brown water: radiation
Bottled Water: Good!
Not really, believe it or not, radiation. (You must be thinking of purified water)

Purple: Magic??

Green: Life/death??

Red: Life/fire??

Blue: Magic/cold??

Honestly the only colour I don't feel uncertain about is orange, that's always bad.

Also on the topic of health potions, a great piece of advice I once heard was that if your players are in a foreign land, remove health potions. Give them health biscuits and watch them reconcile with God.

Orange is machinery/technology

FFXIV the stack markers are close to orange... and long time ago it had Bard having a fire circle that damaged enemies but not allies, yet the tanks thought it was bad and would drag enemies out of it. Probably why they removed that one.
