I'd again suggest blue for information, or at most an amber to indicate a warning (I guess it's possible a kernel update had a security fix). Also, "Restart required" isn't an action, and it's not required. "Restart (recommended)" might make more sense, brackets differentiating the action from the recommendation. Luke.
