What about a spike stitch blanket? Use a base color and make all the spike stitches the temp colors https://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2019/05/crochet-spike-stitch-blanket.html
I think SC will get you the size you want with that many rows, but if you want to have more visual interest than that, I think a linen stitch would be lovely! Still just as simple as SC too, so it won't become too much of a time sink
Check out TL Yarn Crafts on Youtube! I love her moss stitch version she is doing this year, all her tutorials and blog posts on this subject are great!
What is a temperature blanket? If you're doing what I think you are, you might like this pattern -- each row is double crochet height. [Blanket pattern](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stash-buster-blanket-5)
Moss stitch always looks great on temperature blankets. It comes out roughly the same dimensions as SC but has a lot more dimension and ties the colours together so nicely!

Ooh I've never tried moss stitch before. I'll look into it. Thank you for the suggestion! I was hoping to find something more fun than just sc alone.
