You clearly choose to gloss over it but I'm afraid it is completely relevant. Color does not work well in grids without doing very complicated things with selection coloring like alpha blending. And that is a whole world of pain particularly cross platform that I would bet Kovid isn't going to be in a rush to implement.
If you rely *only* on colour to indicate the state of something it just won't work well with selections (it also won't work well for people who are color blind). So you need a secondary visible trigger, be it an icon or a column.
As for not finding space, there is always a way to find space if you want it that badly. You could even do a custom column with a custom formula built from other columns with a one character code if you wanted to. As for "scanning across", well you can put it right next to your title column if it is that big a deal for you.
