S = Second
L = Low

That's a real answer.

Since the Hybrid has a CVT that finds the most efficient engine-to-wheel ratio when in Drive, the above two give you some options when descending and climbing hills with a load.

Green doesn't contrast well and clearly with both black and white. Blue is a good background to offset the bright white of the reverse LCD of the computer displays. Blue is a psychologically calming colour, whereas red is aggressive.

Let's remember that this isn't a "statement" car. Its role is to deliver the energy efficiency while also fitting in as a "normal" car. To that end it is appropriate that the Hybrid's instruments are modelled from the regular Civic.
