Hi Dimiter, I support your approach: draw the attention to the dynamic content. When possible: emphasis the data that really needs attention or stands out, an approaching deadline or a metric that doesn't meet the standard.
Stephen Few wrote two nice books on visual communication of data. He advices to go for simplicity. In your case: just use a smaller OR a paler type, not smaller AND paler. When the lay-out alone makes the difference between labels and data clear, then you could use the same font properties for both. Bottom line remains: emphasis the most important data pixels. Labels will never be more important than their accompanying values. - Yohan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
