      You may try it.
      I started with the following choice of colours:
      Green: the best conditions for sailing. Enjoy wind and sea.
      Orange: conditions becoming tougher. Be careful
      Red: hard conditions for a standard 30’ - 40’ cruising boat. Better to stay sheldered.
      The result is may be not artistic but efficient.
      I like to explain the Beaufort scale also with this table from F.Singleton, with a little humour :

      On Windy.com (not in the phone App) you can modify the colormaps as you like.
      Go to Settings -> Modify layer colors
      https://community.windy.com/topic/6455/colors/2
      The modification will be applied to your phone App.

      Here is a lot of examples of modified colors
