Catalog Folders Colors

In most of my library files, the top-level folder is green and the sub-directories are blue. In one, the top-level is blue. What determines the color and what do the colors mean? Are any colors other than blue and green used?

  I discovered switching auto update on turns the color from blue to green. Apparently, all my root directories had auto update turned on except for one and it was blue. A search of help for auto updating led me to the information that confirms this. However, it isn't something you would come across by chance.
  
  I also discovered you can turn auto updating on for sub-directories, although I am not sure why you would want to do that.
  
  It appears the only two folder colors are blue and green. Does anybody know of others? What is required for them?

  I made a change in my directory tree and updated it in MediaPro. A new sub-directory was created and photos were added to another sub-directory. Both folders now have little white ikons superimposed on them. I don't know what that means either but now we seem to have blue and green with the possibility of something white on top.

  The little white ikons apparently mean the bottom level directory where the photos are actually stored. I haven't tested it, but I guess having photos in a higher level directory might also show the white ikons.
  
  I can't seem to find anything about this in the manual. Possibly it is considered to be obvious.
