ForeFlight TFR question

Today flying back from lunch and on my Garmin 796 with XM a TFR popped up with a yellow announcement for the VIP TFR @ 5pm today. So I started double checking in other systems, and the GRT HXr with ADSB indicated the same in yellow and active at 5 pm. But here is the question about Foreflight on the iPad it depicted the TFR Red not yellow. Does anyone have some insight on this, I thought foreflight was not red unless active.

Did you happen to click on the red TFR? If so, did it show active?
 
I think Foreflight has two shades of red. It goes light red a bit before the TFR is active, and then darker red when it's active.
 
Dave, Per the Foreflight Mobile manual...."TFR shapes are shown in yellow until
8 hours before the scheduled start time. Within 8 hours of the TFR being active, it is shown in red until the end of the TFR."

That TFR popped up yesterday morning and was scheduled to go into effect at 5:00 PM (it was later cancelled) so it was depicted in red.
 
I fly in the same area. This was a pop up TFR with only a couple of hours notice. The TFR was later cancelled before it went into effect. POTUS plans to get hoem for a day got changed and he remained in DC.

I would presume the short notice caused it to show red. I saw that also.
