I strongly urge you to rethink this approach. Whilst I do not oppose using different colours depending on the age of changesets, the fact that older changesets are no longer clickable, makes scanning an area which does not show high activity, really painful: 
Large changesets covering several countries or continents - which have always been a nuisance - cause relevant changesets to drop down in the list making it necessary to perform a well-adjusted scrolling manoeuvre constantly keeping an eye on the bounding box color before one is finally able to click on the desired bounding box. 
This feels idiotic. I understand the problem you are trying to solve but this solution is not the way forward.

Besides, for people with issues of color-blindness, orange and red are too similar. I can't tell them apart without looking very carefully.
