The check can return those states. From what I can tell though NAGIOS does not have the ABILITY to show a host as anything other than "green" or "red" - there is no "yellow" host state. It converts check responses into either only green or red/up or down. There's no other option. While I do understand why...it would be a nice option since I may have hosts that honestly can go down and it's not "critical"/red...at least not to me. It would be nice to be able to reflect that for alerting and for reporting.

As
@gregbeyer said, I think you best bet is to just turn off the notifications for the hosts you don't want to worry about. If you still want some notifications, you can use the notification_options setting in the host configuration

May I ask why you think the only colors are green and red?
