# About thresholds
|
|
|
|
Thresholds set the color of either the value text or the background based on conditions that you define.
|
|
|
|
There are two types of thresholds:
|
|
|
|
- **Absolute** thresholds are defined based on a number. For example, 80 on a scale of 1 to 150.
|
|
- **Percentage** thresholds are defined relative to minimum or maximum. For example, 80 percent.
|
|
|
|
You can apply thresholds to most, but not all, visualizations.
|
|
|
|
## Default thresholds
|
|
|
|
On visualizations that support it, Grafana sets default threshold values of:
|
|
|
|
- 80 = red
|
|
- Base = green
|
|
- Mode = Absolute
|
|
|
|
The **Base** value represents minus infinity. It is generally the “good” color.
