After the 3x3 group state is displayed, is it possible to alternate the colors for readability?

I'm not saying it has to be blue (in fact, blue is probably a bad choice), but a different color like bright cyan or bright green may be nice.

If you have zmud, you can just script colors into the info. I made each position a different color to make it easier to follow the infornmation

It's a series of triggers, not really a script. You can change the colors to whatever you like.

I'd taken this a step further, but was never fully satisfied with results.

To in the 'spam' of battle, have the colors match up to the colors assigned info. Made it really easy to know who was doing what, and who the NPC was damaging.

Add a space and you don't need double lines. It will will include both "yes" and "no" and not the (11:F1) from the 3x3 table.

#CLASS {gcolor}
#TRIGGER {11:F1 } {#COLOR 3}
#TRIGGER {12:F1 } {#COLOR 9}
#TRIGGER {13:F1 } {#COLOR 14}
#TRIGGER {21:M1 } {#COLOR 15}
#TRIGGER {22:M1 } {#COLOR 2}
#TRIGGER {23:M1 } {#COLOR 5}
#TRIGGER {31:B1 } {#COLOR 13}
#TRIGGER {32:B1 } {#COLOR 12}
#TRIGGER {33:B1 } {#COLOR 11}
#CLASS 0

And then I had been manually #COLORing names so while in the battle 'spam' you'd see what was going on by whom. It really made it easier to 'follow by color.'

I'm just wondering if there's another way you could set it up with variables that can be reassigned/reused.

I think you don't even need to use variables. PCOL and %x1..99 in a trigger (or conditional trigger) should be enough to do what you want.

Added to my triggers I'd have a chat catcher that would display my group info screen in another window of zmud which really helped having to sift through pages of large PvP group battles.

Again, its just a trigger. :P
