Sometimes, though, there is useful connotation that comes with using red and green: red to denote the double-digit loss you want to draw attention to or green to highlight significant growth.

Consider also using bold, varying saturation or brightness, or adding a simple plus or minus sign in front of the numbers to ensure they stand out.
