(Player) health bars indecipherable

What on earth have ZOS done? Talking about the health bars above peoples' heads. I get that they may now indicate shields or ... something, but sometimes they just go dark and it looks like people are almost dead (in PvP) when they are anything but. You're exposing yourself to damage, because you think they're in execute range and they're actually near full health again, exept you can't see it. Not by the health bar over their head anyway. I'm raising this as a bug, because the health bars are inscrutable. I get that this should help you in PvP, but whoever implemented this went overboard with the colours and did a really bad job. Please fix.

EDIT: The only thing I see in the patch notes is something about healing immunity, but clearly there is a lot more going on when I look at health bars in PvP, friend and foe. Where is this documented?

For us colourblind folks this is really annoying and stupid.

See this random guy in PvE, outside of combat. Most players show up normally, with a green health bar, for me. This guy's health bar is a dark gray / blue for some reason. When that happens in PvP, it makes it look like they're dead, or almost dead. He was just sitting there, on his mount. It's not like he would have had no health.
