Colors don't work well in selection based grids. As soon as you select the row all your coloring will be lost. Do a search bringing back only one row and you can't see any coloring at all.
You can do all of your four options with a format column as I suggested. As I think you also wrote somewhere and has been posted elsewhere on this forum you can use a paper format for representing those books. So the one formats column will give you all you want without any separate updating or maintenance required.
