It looks like you're taking a track similar to one that I did for a JSP app I wrote many years ago. I had a table presented to the user and one of the columns contained a percentage. If the percentage was 98 or higher, then I wanted to display that percentage in red color. If not, the default color was fine. So I wrote my JSP app to use a similar DECODE statement like you did (along with the SIGN function to determine if the value was 98 and higher or not. The value returned from DECODE was the color value. This was dynamically used to modify the TD tag in my HTML page.

Looks to me like what you're doing above is very similar.
