Ah.  I didn't know that limitation.

If the warning color were red, you could make the selected color white 
on red instead of the Windows default.

The best reason I can think of to avoid using color is that you'd 
probably have to write a custom paint routine.  That's a bit of work. 
If you choose this path, something more obvious than an asterisk would 
be better.  For instance, prefix it with "NON-OFFICIAL: ".
