Ping Tiers

Tier	Range	Default Color (R,G,B)
Perfect	≤ 75 ms	85, 255, 85
Good	≤ 150 ms	255, 255, 85
Okay	≤ 250 ms	255, 170, 0
Bad	≤ 400 ms	255, 100, 0
Terrible	> 400 ms	255, 85, 85

Each tier represents a ping range and uses its own customizable color. Players with ping above the previous tier's max fall into the next tier automatically.
