Not a question; and does not make any sense, as I explain in my answer, please see.

On the event click — is too late: if you do it, no one will have enough time to see it, because the item won't be shown on click. So, why? And what's wrong with default coloring scheme? Better don't irritate the user with decoration. You need add expressive capabilities to UI only when it serves some purpose.
