Altitude. Red on the ground, through green, teal, and blue for mid-altitudes, into violet above 40,000 feet. At a glance you can tell who just took off, who is climbing through the pattern, and who is cruising overhead.

They are inside the ORD radar radius but not landing or departing here. Passing through en route to another airport. We flag them so the numbers for ORD traffic actually reflect ORD traffic.
