Principal flight loads are handled by unidirectional carbon fiber in the spar caps.
The color corresponds to the mm2 of unidirectional carbon that will be necessary (spar cap section):
Red - 40 mm2
Orange - 30 mm2
Yellow - 25 mm2
Green - 15 mm2
Light Blue - 10 mm2
Dark Blue - less than 5 mm2
The behaviour in negative G will be different because the struts do not have any compression capacity. Negative G is handled by the wing root and it will increase the forces in the center section between the struts.
