If it's the alerts rather than the actual colour that is the issue,
another option is in alerts.cfg to add an IGNORE rule - this still
preserves the colour status being reported by the test (rather than
making it blue for the duration of the DOWNTIME), but just stops the
alerts. With judicious use of regular expressions this can be very flexible.

Some examples:

PAGE=%(esx|infra|storage|win|dmz|gw|wansites|external|pabx|site).*
      IGNORE PAGE=win TIME=234:0000:0355 # WSUS update window
      IGNORE PAGE=dmz TIME=234:0000:0355 # WSUS update window
      IGNORE PAGE=interstate SERVICE=%(msgs|svcs) TIME=234:0000:0355 #
WSUS update window
      IGNORE PAGE=interstate SERVICE=%(ldap|dns|conn) DURATION<5m
      IGNORE HOST=%(backup[12]).* SERVICE=files TIME=*:1900:2100
      IGNORE HOST=%(host1).* SERVICE=msgs TIME=*:0100:0115
      IGNORE HOST=%(sihotvsv).* SERVICE=svcs TIME=45:0500:0535
      IGNORE HOST=%(\.ilo\.).* EXHOST=%(dr4100.*)
      IGNORE HOST=%(^webfilter\..*) SERVICE=%(http|wwwproxy)
DURATION<10m  # a bit noisy so only notify on multiple
      IGNORE HOST=%(^(flakyweb)\..*) SERVICE=%(http) DURATION<3m  # flapping
      IGNORE PAGE=%(win|interstate|dmz|gw)
EXHOST=%(^(host1|ns\d|wwwproxy.*|.*\.ilo)($|\..*)) SERVICE=msgs
      IGNORE SERVICE=%(adlock) # adlock notification unecessary
      IGNORE SERVICE=%(cpu|imap|pop3|smb|smtp|ftp|svcs|ports)
DURATION<10m # wait for multiple reds
      IGNORE SERVICE=%(conn|ssh) DURATION<2m # wait for multiple reds,
short test cycle time
