However, now that I've watched matches for a bit, I understand that the blue bars mean "strength of blue Outer Works, as done by the red alliance" - same with the tower.

Did anyone else get the same confusion at first, or am I just really bad at reading the display?

I super agree, rather than filling in with white, filling in with the other Alliance's color might make it more intuitive.

However, the new Audience Display is makes watching Webcasts much easier! I kind of wish there was a flash to get my attention when something subtle changed, but hey I like it.
