Using bindable colors to control alert coloring from a central location
With the advent of being able to dynamically bind colors to different parts of a component, we can push alerting to another level.

Instead of having a bunch of green and red bars that may look like a Christmas tree, we can set the chart background color to red if one of the values has reached a critical point.
