How to understand Bloomberg TV’s market updates

Hey everybody, I know that this question can be seen as very juvenile but I’m genuinely curious and want to learn. On Bloomberg TV they show the market updates for the different index or OTR bonds. I understand that for the indexes, when it goes up it will be green because that’s good (obviously), but for when they show t-bonds it’s inverse. When the rates go down it’s green and when it goes up it’s red. Can anyone please explain this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
