Re: colors, one way is to put an effort on the task, and you'll see your consumption regarding that cut-off value; whenever you're above it, your clocked time becomes red. Limitation: the effort is supposed to represent a big total or a daily amou= nt (see property ":CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL: today"). Though, there is no such thi= ng for a weekly limit.
