Aug 23, 2017 at 13:17 comment added Nick Cox Orthogonal comments, picky if you like, but in graphics details can matter a lot. 1. Difficulty distinguishing red and green is a common problem many people have; here it doesn't matter because the two curves would be distinct whatever the colours, but even for this kind of problem, red and green curves that crossed could be a puzzle. Red and blue or orange and blue are much less problematic. 2. Diagonal shading is meaningless here. Appropriate shading should just be monochrome.

Aug 23, 2017 at 12:42 comment added whuber The shaded (signed) area is the difference in expectations of the two distributions. There are no "weights" in any parts of the area--it's just an area. "Signed" means that areas where the red curve is to the left of the green curve are subtracted from the total. (No such areas appear in this image).
