Color scheme in HMI/SCADA

I have worked in Automation field for 7 years and usually customer demands for their color scheme in HMI or SCADA for showing status of equipments like motors and valves. Normally it goes like green for ON and red for OFF, flashing red for Alarm etc.

Now that I am working on a project in Japan and the demand for color scheme is basically opposite to what everyone does. Red for running and green for stop, Yellow for Alarm.

I have worked on projects with ISA standard color scheme which seems like is the best way to design HMI/Scada screen. But this Japanese standard is just something not usually we consider or see in everyday life.

May be someone has experienced this kind of color scheme with some client can share their experience here.
