Another approach would be to create a new colour definition, "counter" (and leave its appearance as whatever colour it is now). Then use View > Color > Views to set up View 2 with "counter" in the Invisible column. Assign colour "counter" to the pgf tag of your counter column. (I assume you're already using no borders/shading etc. to render the column otherwise invisible.) When editing, use View 1. Before printing, switch to View 2.
