A very obvious way to differentiate between hot and cold, like the indication on most all interior water faucets and shower diverters, Red & Green!

Would have been quicker to the chase if the OP mentioned the manufacturer & model number of the T’Stat !

My non heat pump programmable t-stats use different colors to represent different things. Blue for cool, green for 'fan/econ' and red for heat. Gas furnaces and traditional AC systems

Anyone remember that dork from public tv that always wore one red suspender and one green one, and liked to run around "fixing" stuff with duct tape?

Some people thought that guy was funny. I don't get it.

Wait, what were we talking about again?

I think we should go back to more descriptive indicators. I'd suggest a small flame for heat. Not a picture of a small flame, an actual flame. You know, pilot light size. For cold you could pipe a liquid nitrogen line and emit just a wee bit, just enough to create a big icicle.

I can think of a more descriptive alternative, but it would be horribly sexist...
