You might want this instead:

2) Column coloring applies to text color, not background color. Yes/No/Empty columns are checkmarks by default, not text, and the checkmark is already green. You can't change that color.

I change the color of the title if it's read. I also use a text (tag-like) column for #read and put my initials and/or my wife's. Then I color the title one color if read by me, another if read by her and a third if read by both.
As I usually use my netbook where screen real estate is limited, I am going with the colour change on my custom column which is Author/SerIn/Title, removes 3 cols down to 1, and as theducks said, I can now remove that Read col, like your 3rd option and will keep that in mind...
