I think the feature is useful enough that we can lose the scroll 
wheel behaviour if it is unavoidable, the arrow keys still work.

I was going to suggest a darker green since the text is almost 
invisible on a grey widget theme, but this more of a problem since 
some people will actually have a green/red theme and this will break 
for them.  Also 5-10% of our users are red/green colour-blind, so 
they will have trouble too.

There is plenty of space in the drop-down, how about adding some 
unicode characters to indicate the same information instead of 
colours.

There could be a star system, more stars is 'good':

  [★★☆☆☆]
  [★★★★☆]

..or use checks and crosses:

  [✗✗✗]
  [✓]
  [✓✓✓]

..and we could probably retain the scroll-wheel behaviour.
