I suggest instead of changing color to add checkmark symbol to satisfied condition

Because of colorblind people

Can I suggest that bars should be possible to (and ideally be default) colour-shade based on progress either percentage or threshold?

And ideally change 'fill style' for those who are colour blind?

And/Or both?

E.g. a stripe 'barber's pole' style for 'in progress' and a solid bar for 'done'.

For bonus points animating/indicating based on rate - e.g. if it's actually increasing vs. static because the inputs are empty and loading is stalled, like marking how much of the bar filled in the last 10s. (I mean, for fast fills it's obvious, but sometimes it's a large capacity/slow loading or unloading)

+1 for highlighting the difference between 99% and 100% in a clearer way than the difference between 98% and 99% , one is more significant but in both cases it's the same amount of pixels that changes.

+1 for this - as others have said, the bar could be orange until it is complete, at which point it would turn green.

Something like this?

yellow/gold as completed!

How about add a border? so it can be see by colorblind people too.

The other way round.

I like this . But not sure it's colourblind friendly (and I don't know if there is a way to make it so).

Only reasonable option for making it colorblind friendly is to completly turn off the partial background drawing. Those colors are unfortunately provided through a png file so adjusting them is a little bit painful.

Maybe use textured background then?
Like green diagonal stripes for partially complete condition.

Just thinking : if it's a PNG, maybe a "check" mark could be drawn in the middle of the green background drawing to tell "I'm done with this condition ?"
Something like that (Beware the photoshop skillz) :
