There might be a solution in this class. It's a bar chart which puts white text in the coloured part of the bar, and black text in the bit that sticks out from the end of the bar. A bit like the text in windows progress bars. It required a bit of manipulation with javascript, but you could probably get it to work inside a Grid.
