My indicator for the coach battery shutoff is red. I don't think I'm aware of any that are multi-colored (it's generally just an on or off indicator). That's not to suggest that they might not exist somewhere.
If you have any light there (with shore power disconnected), you apparently have power from the batteries to the disconnect solenoid at least. I would check the battery cable connections and "reverse polarity" fuses (if you have them) at the DC electrical distribution panel. It would also be good to verify that the battery cables themselves are all solid and in good shape; I've seen more than one battery cable that looks fine at first glance but is actually corroded internally to the point of not being functional.
