Why not combine the two?

The Homeland Spooler Alert System:

Green:  The spoolfile is over 75% complete.
Blue:   The spoolfile over 50% complete.
Yellow: The spoolfile is just 25% complete.
Orange: The spoolfile is ready to print.
Red:    The spooler has stopped.

It's not SPIFFy, but it would look cool in QCTerm's Van Gough mode.
