When you add a column to your view, you put ..., "text", COL, ... to
show the text from model column COL in the currently being added column.
The same is with "background" and "foreground" attributes, and the
pointed columns must contain a colour name (as string: "red", "blue",
etc).

I posted an example a couple of days ago. Just a code snippet from one
of my projects, but should give you the idea.
You have to add a column for every attribute.

... If only it could be possible to map values to attributes (1=>"red",
2=>"blue" and so on...)
