BLF on Grandstreams is easy - it works well in the later firmware (yes, 
there were issues in early firmware) and I have many sites using it to 
good effect. Just follow the docs on the Grandstream website.

However this multi-colour thing is intersting - Grandstreams do have 
red+green LEDs - right now my desk phone has a row of green LEDs, 
indicating "phone is online, but no calls". When I call a phone, that 
particular one flashes red, or is constant red when the phone is in-use, 
*or* offline.

But it does that all on it's own - I've done nothing special in the 
dialplan, just added the relevant hints and set the buttons to BLF in the 
phone GUI. This is asterisk 1.2 too...
