Blue = friendly
Red = enemy
Green = neutral
Sinking a neutral vessel would no doubt bring negative rep, but the way I look at it is, why was she traveling in a convoy if she was neutral?

Because generally speaking it was safer to travel in convoy than to cross a known war zone alone.
And if Varduga's playing GWX the color-coding's been removed from the contacts on the Navmap, unless he's made a point of modding them back in.
Even with them modded back in (which is how I've been playing) I still have ships in most convoys that do not show up color-coded right away... they're just grey icons on the map. Sometimes when I get closer they turn out to be Allied ships, sometimes not. It's not all that uncommon to find neutral ships in an "enemy" convoy at least IME early in the war.
