It is not mentioned anywhere in the docs, but it is safe to assume the color is to draw attention proportionally to the perceived risk of such setting. If you enable telnet/HTTP (insecure) admin access on any interface you will get it painted red, while in versions prior to 7.2 it was pink.  SNMP I guess is in the middle on the scale of 'be aware of'.

Nothing is wrong there, that orange is the normal color for the SNMP.  There are some other services that have different colors too.  

 

FMG-Access and Radius Accounting are Blue.

Probe Response is red.
