Container RAM usage display not considering cache

I am running various containers that seem to be using a lot of memory, according to the Summary View. The RAM usage is therefore red - see screenshot.

When digging into the container, however, it quickly shows that most of the "used" memory is actually used as cache - so tainting it red in the summary view is misleading:

Code:
root@agorum:~# free -h
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           24G        23G       177M       240M         0B        19G
-/+ buffers/cache:       4.1G        19G
Swap:         8.0G       2.6M       8.0G

I would suggest to alter the RAM usage display to differentiate between actual "used" RAM and cached RAM.
