Pale colors based on Color coding formula in Report

I have a report.  :)

I have a color coding formula which has used both literal color values as well as numeric representations for colors.  (See below).

During my report development, the colors have always displayed pale when the report displays (I want the pale version).

Today, I added the report to my Role Home Page.  I added the report as a Button Bar widget and also as a widget that displays the actual report.

The report that displays when the Home Page displays does not use the pale colors.

The report that displays when I click the Report Button Bar widget does display the colors as pale.

The formula is currently

var number DaysOld = ToDays(Today() - ToDate([Date Created]));

If(
$DaysOld < 15, "green",
$DaysOld < 30, "yellow",
$DaysOld >=30, "red" )


I've tried clicking the Default page and also explicit Pale radio buttons.

Why does the Report Button Bar widget show the desired pale colors but the actual report on the Home Page does not?
