I agree. It's not in a high stress area, and it's in a perfect spot to keep an eye on it.
Maybe it's a good excuse to change that horrible colour

Probably OK. Is the tube itself and the bike in generall still in perfect allignment? If not, then the whole bike is under more stress and the dent could be dangerous.
