My two cents... Color is a bad thing to use to communicate "status". It can get you (your company) into a a legal problem if any of your users are subject to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) or any other "Accessibility" design standards.
I think you would be better off using a column (HTML read-only) that shows a graphic for the "status" (A "Red X", or a "Green check mark" or a "Yellow warning icon", etc..). The icon can still could be an ADA issue, but there are better/cleaner ways to mitigate that in ARS than to try to "fix" the client's rules for when the rows background colors are changed. Like simply showing the calculated number too. :) Again... that is just my two cents.
