So flying around the Washington DC SFRA that's how foreflight looks while planning. During flight when approaching the 60nm speed limit ring the whole 60nm ring turned red. I flew through that area the first time so didn't know what to expect. Thinking it might be a fresh TFR as it showed in foreflight details and I could have missed the notam, I asked the controller (was flight following) if there was active tfr and after checking he came back and said affirmative. Puzzled Enough and now to avoid the restricted airspace he routed me to the south end of restricted airspace.

After landing I called flight services and they confirmed there wasn't any restriction and maybe my foreflight acted up. Wondering if it's just precautionary warning or what about the speed ring.

On way back yesterday it did the same thing but this time i flew right through as my planned route while on flight following again. It certainly is a foreflight thing but it did scare me the first time enough to be looking out for F16. Is there a way to change it or color diff etc?
