Well, my observations of screens have only shown gold. Not to say there isn't some subtle part somewhere but no pop up boxes that I've noticed. The green tick or red cross is the most visible part.
Had a couple of occasions when visiting GC for a look around that the agent on the desk has said "you know you can use GF?". Never had "Oh, you're a CCR holder. You can use the Concorde Room if you wish".
