Green as direct link - do you still do it?

In a financial model, it's commonly known that colouring your direct links green is the best practice.

However, the benefits of doing that seem to lose out to the cost of doing that. There are just way too many direct links in a complex model and technically there isn't a lot of differences between a direct link and a formula. At some point I just gave up doing it.

Do you guys still do it?
