It is correctly doing what that particular coloring choice is setup to do. The calculations are defined at the following link for the background coloring of "Based On Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol - Actual":
Numbers Bars: Background Coloring Based on Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol Difference - Actual

In particular, the section that defines how the comparison is done when both the Bid and Ask sides are dominant - in this case it compares the Bid to the Ask at the same level, not the diagonal comparisons.

You should use the background coloring of "Based on Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol Difference - Actual" to get what you are wanting.

As to the 0, that is occurring as neither diagonal side is dominant. The bid is 125 and compared to 131, the ask is 225 compared to 259.
