Why do some users have green text in their trust and others (like me) have not?

Been wondering this for a while.

Been wondering this for a while.

Do you mean the black vs light green vs dark green positive trust?

Recently (today) I first noticed someone people have positive trust that is black (not green).

Is there any significance to this?

It's black if it's positive but lower than 5. Light green between 5 and 14. And dark green when it's 15 or higher:

Because its not high enough to be turned green. It depend on how much trust you have.

I've seen orange negative with black positive at the same time and wondered why it wasn't just red??

Because someone can have trusted trust rating while having received negative trust as well. The color used for that is orange instead of the red text and you won't see the red "Trade with extreme caution!" either.

when it gets to 5 it will get green, when it gets to 15 it will get darker

I believe it happens when someone with 2 or more positive rating get a negative rating*. it will change if that person get a positive or negative rating.

*the negative rating have to be new.

If the trust score is <0 it appears read.
For trust score >=0 but <5 it appears to be Black
For trust score >=5 but <15 it is light green.
For trust score >=15 it is Dark Green.

- trust and + trust are separate entity but yes. -1 +4 isint = 3 = green, its "-1 +4" and its orange.

I've got an idea to modify the trust indications which I've proposed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1183190.0

From where does this trust come ?

Trust comes from doing actions that cause people to trust you. Most commonly, this is from doing transactions. However, the only trust feedback that will really have an impact on your trustworthiness is from DT members, who are members who are considered trustworthy.

...until those on the Default Trust are outted as scammers like Quickseller and Tomatocage (the former has been removed from DT, the later hasn't).

Was there some actual scam from Quickseller or it was just that alt Escrow self Escrow thing i noticed?

It was the self-escrowing matter; however, I can understand your confusion here because the whole issue was blown completely out of proportion into QS having alts such as BPB, TF, and apparently, me.

The only "scam" was self-escrowing and collecting fees for it.

He was caught using his DT and alts to farm trust among his own accounts. He was also caught using multiple alt accounts to neg trust single users. (Panthers52, ACCTseller) There is no question that he is untrustworthy.

More than anything, though, Quickseller's bullying attitude and sociopathic approach to morality are the red flags.... I believe he was orchestrating a long con, and was simply outed before ever pulling it off.

Personally, unless he scammed someone, it shouldn't be that much of a big deal. Just be made clear to everyone who's accounts are who's so people know who they are dealing with.

Though it is pretty fishy behavior and warrant getting drop of the DT list for sure.

I just don't like to debate morality, especially on the internet, but yes i understand why people would be wary of a long con.
