Perhaps you could use only black for the arrows so that the user knows of the increase or decrease, place them on the left, and then on the right use a "health-bar" style status report which would look professional and could indicate the positive/negative aspect and even severity. (Use colors other than Red/Green if you are worried about color blind issues) <br> <br> <br> (*NOTE: My colors may not correlate to arrow orientation as I just did it randomly without trying to uncover which arrows are good (green) and which are bad (red)) <br> <br> *(Also, the arrows may not even be necessary anymore if you are adding these visual ads, sorting can be changed to performance based (i.e. 'good' v 'bad') instead of directional based (i.e. 'increment' v 'decrement')* <br> <br> [![enter image description here][1]][1] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/joT5Zl.png
