We all probably know by now about the concerns around whitelist and blacklist as words. But, "allowlist" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Is there any pushback you can anticipate with "redlist" and "greenlist" instead?

The colors red and green are associated with political parties in many places.
Why not allowlist and banlist? I don't think allowlist trips off my tongue, and is actually fairly easy to say.
Or passlist and blocklist (or banlist)? If you want to keep the number of syllables the same.
