Red color coding in size column

Using 4 beta
Could someone please explain to me the significance of the 3 different cell colors in the size column? There is white (or blue), light red, and dark red. Am I correct in assuming that:
White or Blue under 1 MB
Light red under 1 GB
Red over 1 GB
?
Thank you

To me, it's neither here nor there.
Like, OK, its pointing out bigger files to me, like OK.
Maybe if you're going to have something like that, make size ranges & colors user select-able.
And then you might even extend that to file types too.
(In the DOS days, colorized DIR listings, by file type never did anything for me either - even though my "go to" DIR lister [
NDIR] is a colorized DIR lister ;-).)

Finally, I've found out what the 'red' highlight in the Duplicate Files tab, Size column is for. (I was searching for 'orange' - that is what the colour looks like to me.
The feature could be useful now that I know what it is for, though I suspected something along these lines.
As another poster suggested, an option to change the size limits for the colour coding could be useful.
Putting the feature in the instructions will be useful also.
Duplicate Cleaner is the best in its class. Keep up the Good Work.
Thanks,
Jon M

Good day.
I like the colors, but the ability to sort groups by size would be better (have a look at AllDup, that's ALL it can do, lol).
Best Regards,

Hi DV. I purchased this software (no trial needed) within the last week....and so far very pleased. What brought me to the forum was to find out why the heck some of my files reported RED in the file section. Well I've found the reason here. Thanks to all for the support.
Even after a week of use managing a decade of backup drives...I still get distracted by the Red cells sprinkeled about my results screen.
It would nice to turn that off.
