The blue to red is suppose to represent the light-side to dark-side scale, with Palpatine being so dark he's black.As stated, with 8 and 9, staying in the light is difficult, hence why there's so little of it, especially in 9.
Yeah, the red and blue is a good depiction, but the black ruins it because it's a color that literally has no meaning in Gillard's system.

I very much doubt that Gillard knows or cares about Vaapad or its "superconducting loop". That came from Stover. So when Gilllard is giving these guys his rankings, thats likely where he considers them to be in the duels he scripted.
That being said, given Mace teeters on 8 and 9, and then Mace has been cited as a 9 before, I imagine he does use the dark-side to get to that extra level.
I've always pictured Mace as the only Jedi (within filmverse) who can use the dark-side without being corrupted by it, hence his purple blade.
