Description

We currently show the word (closed) when referencing an issue link that has been closed.Screen_Shot_2017-05-22_at_11.10.38_AM

Proposal

Reduce UI clutter and color-code links to issues to quickly show the user if an issue is open or closed.

Considerations

Accessibility. Color-blind users may not be able to easily discern the difference between two colors, especially green and red which are most commonly used for open and closed.
