Andreas, sure, it would only be available in colour. But there's other ways
to mark NaNs, which, after all, should be exceptional, not a major chunk of
your data. I don't know enough about your use-case to comment on an exact
solution but I do think that NaN display should not drive design.

I second Todd though — I would really love to have all of these available
so people can choose.

But the issue of branding with the default is also important, so that
doesn't diminish the discussion ahead... Which looks like it will be
intense! =)

Juan.
