Well, I guess that color text would be also fine.
As for what colors, dark blue for untranslated is ok, but what
color will be then for fuzzy ?
Perhaps a program user preference for color selection should satisfy
most users, only that this involves some work on preferences dialog.
Something like "select color A for untranslated strings" and "select
color B for fuzzy strings".
Perhaps also something like "select font [style] for untranslated
strings" and "select font [style] for fuzzy strings" :)

Regarding the color versus no color, I think there is something rather
psychological. When I open a .po file and see a lot of colored lines
there, it makes me feel angry and want to eliminate as many color lines
as I can. With no color at all, even if bold, I suspect there will be
no such great feel like working on ... but of course, this is only a
personal feeling.
