As I mentioned in a different thread, when I built this feature for calibre I never expected to use it myself. I am slightly color blind, so I avoid using color cues. I did it for the challenge.

However, as soon as my wife noticed what I was doing, she asked that the ratings in our library be colored by who read the book. She wanted 4 colors: her, me, both, and neither. The coloring combines two fields into one visual queue, where the two fields are often off-screen. I had to pick colors I could see, but that wasn't hard.

I am waiting to see what else she comes up with.
