I'm fine with the current format and although I can read the cells I think it makes it a little less clear. though I do like the idea that I can see what type of creature is attacking instead of just a name. The colors are good but i would add the colors to the current fight log in order to highlight portions such as below.
###### START ROUND "1" ######
[color=#0000ff]Applying temporary effects for Kamisha, slot 1 :[/color]
[color=#0000ff]protect (round:2 protect: defence=105|from 132 to 237; )[/color]
