I'm against. :-P
In my opinion, more than two colors are unintuitive.

Furthermore, we are assigning the same kind of identification (color) to 
different concepts (watched and read)... 

why on earth would you do that?

I still can't see what's wrong with marking watched threads with an icon (as 
opposite to color). Forte Agent does that and it worked for years. Probably I 
didn't stress one thing enough: the icon would only appear besides WATCHED 
messages. Unwatched messages would have no icon. 

So even though it is an icon, it leaps to the eye.

Comments appreciated!
