To make it easier to work with rules in Rule Flow, the rules have colored borders.

### Purple - Neutral state

The purple border has a rule if it is in a neutral state - it has no warnings or errors.

### Green - Active state

If the user works with the rule, ie has it clicked and sees its sidebar, the rule changes color to green.
