Sorry if I killed Jim's fight ... but I really think more than 1 color on the exams will throw attention off what matters ... 

As another factor, we have differences of experience and sometimes apprehensions, while reasonable ("not unreasonable"), prove unfounded.

Having used a system in which I encountered two colours that nobody explained to me, I did think to myself "hmm … why are some cells pink and others blue"? Then, I saw that

- every pink cell value was numeric and followed by "  h" (for "high"), and fell above its tooltip reference range

- every blue cell was numeric and followed by "  l" (for "low"), and fell below its tooltip reference range

and I then relaxed, and adopted it as both easy to disregard (if I so chose), and as helpful.


How about a color for "out of range" flowed by a up-arrow / down-arrow ? I can live with 2 colors though ...
