Question on one thing about the HUD

[Montival (DayZ) 0]

I haven't been able to search successfully for an answer to this question, but I notice when I see a player in my LOS and I line up my crosshairs on that player, it'll list his distance and his player name (I guess certain server parameters can do away with this info). However, I notice two differences. Sometimes, a player's name will show up green and other times, it'll show up orange. Is there a significance to these different colors? Thanks for answering.

think it might be the distance they are spotted at but thats just a guess

and yeah the nameplate/ranging is server side - and lame should flick it off on all servers makes it much more fun

Is it not PING related like the lobby? The higher your Ping, it goes Orange, then eventually RED..?
