Related metrics should be lumped together in metric groups. All metrics have to be in a metric group. By putting multiple metrics in a single group, they will be visually lumped together.

All color-modifiers work for metrics, but some work better than others.

Emotive colors work well and are put to use when applicable. Other colors have worse support and less utility.

Metrics have a disabled state. This is used when a metric is non-existent or irrelevant. It's just as important to show the lack of value as it is to show a value, so simply not rendering non-existent or irrelevant metrics would be worse.
