I voted yes again!
I like the idea.
Sometimes my eyes don't wonder to how many days my topic has left and it eventually disappears and then I'm SOL!

But yes, maybe just like you're picture shows, the red would help imo.
However, different board styles may effect that so red might not be an option. Maybe bolding the amount of days? OR, hmm, well idk but something to this effect would ofc be useful.
