Another approach would be to create a new colour definition, "counter" 
(and leave its appearance as whatever colour it is now).  Then use View

Assign colour "counter" to the pgf tag of your counter column.  (I 
assume you're already using no borders/shading etc. to render the column 
otherwise invisible.)

When editing, use View 1.  Before printing, switch to View 2.
