I know I could add a new formula field to my Type just for a particular color coding, but if it is relevant only to a single Table view, it seems more appropriate to define the formula in the Table’s color coding section, and not clutter up the Type.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any votes left (don’t know how you can get more than 10) but this is definitely something worthy of consideration. I also agree that just adding new formula fields for visual formatting is poor design, even if we eventually get the ability to hide some of these “helper” fields (i.e. [Individual Layouts for a node, hide fields etc](https://community.fibery.io/t/individual-layouts-for-a-node-hide-fields-etc/995)
