I was thinking about the same thing, in the beginning i was coding with TDD i was always telling to myself the different steps (like in the image) i was like red, green, purple, red green, purple... my coworkers thought i was crazy (well they're not wrong xD) I like that sentence in your article "help teams communicate the intentions of their code's" it is true, sometimes i write a test for "documentary" purpose but don't forget refactoring can help your team to understand your code :)

overall nice article though :)

Thanks for sharing the article, the image is very concise.
I can relate to the thinking of steps in colors, having an art background a lot of the way I code is very visual in my mind.
