IMO you should use more distinct colors than various shades of red.
Perhaps yellow could indicate >75% off, red could indicate 50% to 75%,
and cyan could be 25% to 49%.  (Leave black for normal price of course.)

Maybe, but the blocks of color aren't really meant as a hard guide -- the
shades of red just mean "attention" -- any more info than that is trying to
pack too much into a tiny display.  I know what you mean, though, about
wanting to see more detail.  Coming:  there'll be hard numbers in a more
detailed table on the set-DB pages.

An alternative to colors or shapes would be to use images of box outlines that
are proportionally filled based on the percentages.  For items at greater than
100% show a full box with a "+" in it.  About 5-6 different images would be
all that is needed, then serve up the appropriate one.

Good idea - But how can you get more than 100% off?  :-)
