You could have an orange-red for high scores, & blue-green for lows,
with a spectrum in between.

Interesting idea with the blue, BTW -- although it's generally not a great
idea to use blue, purple, or magenta text on white-background web pages
(because of traditional HTML link colors), there might actually be an
advantage in using blue for low-scored articles -- namely, that as you
scan a page visually looking for things you haven't yet read, articles with
low scores that showed blue would "blend in" next to a non-clicked link
(assuming you use the default of blue for your non-clicked-link color) and
look less out of place.  Similarly, articles with high scores that showed
in red would "blend in" somewhat next to a clicked link if you used the
magenta/purple default for your clicked-link color, and even more if you
used red for your clicked-link color.  Just a thought.

When the rest of the pages go to CSS, the score color assignments should be
reconsidered.
