Fabio,

>AND NOT HARD CODED !!!

Sorry but your posted code is extremely hard coded!

Only 3 statuses allowed because of the array, hard coded color values put into the array, constrained to status values >= 'A', error causing if status D is added to the system at a later point.

Cetin' and John's method based approaches are far more robust.

Not hard coded means that it's entirely driven by data stored in a place and used in a fashion that doesn't require recompilation for the change to appear within the application.
