Hey, I've recently designed a Poster about the FHS since I often forget where I should place or find things. Do you have any feedback how to make it better?

I have 2 questions:
Do I understand the colors correctly in that /home is deprecated and shouldn't be used? What's the alternative in that case?
Where would you guys put configuration files for services? /srv seems like an adequate directory
I'm trying to remember this correctly, but traditionally /home is a symlink of /usr/home. I think that's deprecated and you should now just have /home
The colors are confusing. I meant to mark /home as non-standard since it's not mandated by the FHS.
The FHS doesn't specifically mention the config of webservices but /srv seems good to me. Read https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html for more info.
Edit: Changed colors
