      If it was color-coded, it would almost certainly not be referred to as a rainbow.

      I do it all the time at work as an engineer. Red/bold for bad numbers, green/bold for good numbers. Maybe orange/bold for mixed bag

        Red/green isn’t really a good combination due to color blindness. Either go blue/orange or at least add icons like ↑ and ↓ next to it.

          C# in Excel can’t even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I’m going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.

          At work, there isn’t anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I’m sticking with red/green
