The issue, to me, lies more with the interpretation of the colors and ignoring the numbers in favor of the colors. The whole page is, at the moment, in an unfortunate state of edit decay, which is being worked upon at the moment.

The colors are there to highlight Outstanding and Good stats. Green is generally there to highlight the best, while yellow is there to highlight those that aren't the best, but are generally still notably higher than the rest. These are, naturally, open to interpretation as to where the cutoff is between the three (green, yellow, unhighlighted), and how many should be highlighted. I tend to err on the side of very few green highlights and as few yellow highlights as is reasonable to avoid over-highlighting.

On the same page there is an issue with over-highlighting, where the addition of almost all of the AA stat being highlighted means the highlighting ceases to actually convey information. There are ~20 CLs, 13 of them should not be highlighted. This is why the highlight labels are moving to Outstanding/Good instead of the older Outstanding/Above Average. Turns out the average DD has 38 armor, so all the DDs save for the Mutsuki class should, technically, have been armor highlighted. In the extreme case, having all of them highlighted conveys no more meaning than having none of them highlighted.

Not to belittle the suggestion itself, but built into it is the point that Nagara and Natori's notability is that they have that high firepower cap in conjunction with the low remodel level, not that their firepower is, itself, notably higher.

This is also noted in the Notes below on the page:
 * Kuma and Nagara have good stats with their first remodel at level 20.  However, they can be difficult to obtain on early worlds.

There are, admittedly, no hard rules with it, save for one: The highlighting is a guide, not the final word. Kudos for finding the better points of the less appreciated CLs, they need more love.

Side note: some other things are happening with the issues on the CL page at the moment (see further down in suggestions), those should be fixed soon.
