Color of AFCS modes -- G1000

[HPNPilot1200]

I flew another Phenom 100 trip tonight to LOU and back and noticed that whenever GPS was selected as the nav source and also when GP was captured on an GPS (LPV) approach, both displayed in magneta text in the AFCS (auto flight control system) box while all of the other lateral and vertical modes show up green. This definitely makes sense since a magenta needle means GPS and green needle means nav radio on the G1000, but interestingly enough these modes show up in green on the AFCS status box on the Cirrus SR20 Perspective. It seems as though any GPS derived autoflight mode (GPS, VPTH, GP, etc) displays in magneta.

Was this included in a recent software upgrade or perhaps it is specific to the Garmin Prodigy system we have on the Phenom?

Here are some pictures to help explain.

Yes ALL GFC700 annunciations are the same,For the HSI the few differences will be what FD is being used by the AP and that is what the arrow is for on the AP section.
white= armed
Magenta= GPS(HSI)
Green= NAV. VLOC VOR ILS (HSI)
This is on the HSI

The Magenta on the AP section for GPS is a function of the OEM software.
It is not like that on the Cessna G1000, King Air, Mustang, Diamond, and others.

There are other little differences like a grayed out frequency for the one with out the select box around it.

I would think the reason would be what color to use for ROL? So they used all green.

Ok. They all seemed to look the same to me (text and color) so I didn't realize the AFCS status box annunciations are OEM specific.

Almost all features are OEM specified, the OEM and Garmin together made the G1000 to get the FAA certification. The King Air was mostly done by Garmin.
It is much easier to get certified on a new airframe, then retrofit.
