to keep interpreting colors and fonts attributes.

-    Defined as a mapping of colors to Python expressions. Values are of the

-    in-order, the expression is evaluated for the record and if ``true`` the
-    corresponding color is applied to the row. If no color matches, uses the

-    * ``color`` can be any valid `CSS color unit`_.
-    * ``expr`` should be a Python expression evaluated with the current
