Why are HTTPS sites red instead of black?

When I visit pages at https://stackoverflow.com/, I see this in the NoScript popup:

I (perhaps incorrectly) expected the ...stackoverflow.com to be black. It changes to black when I lock the Match HTTPS content only, which makes sense. Does a red domain name marked TRUSTED mean NoScript allows both HTTP and HTTPS accesses to that domain — so the red color is kind of a warning that both secure and insecure accesses are allowed?
If so, should I always lock the HTTPS lock in this case, given that the page only uses HTTPS to access ...stackoverflow.com?
