There are two kinds of colours that appear in each torrent entry in Nyaa's listings:

  • One for the rectangle in the "Category" column. I see many different colours there: purple, red, dark and light grey, green, orange, dark and light yellow...

  • One for the whole row. Here I've only seen three different colours so far: white, green, red.

Do these colours, especially the second, mean anything?

Nyaa's Help page mentions the meaning of four "torrent colours": green, red, orange, grey. But they don't say where these colours appear. If they mean the row colour, then I've never seen an orange or grey one. So I'm very confused. Maybe the Help page is outdated?

OK, not a life-or-death matter, but I've been curious about this for a long time...

the first color represents the type of media:

Anime

Purple: sub

Gray: raw

Lime green: non-eng translated

Manga

Teal: eng translated

Dark orange: non eng

Dark green: raw

Audio

Gold: Lossless

Bright red: lossy

and so on, take a look near the search function at the media type

the background represents the trust of the uploader.

Green -> trusted

Gray -> neutral

Red -> bad quality / uploads
