It's not ignorance.. its curiousity..
I asked the same question yesterday in the Ask the Xperts forum.. which you can find here..
Jeep? was kind enough to give me an answer pretty quickly

dark red = admins
light red = news admins
green = site moderators
purple = HMW moderators
orange = news moderators
dark green = VSD moderator
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Is there an option posters can use to turn them off? Having so many colors that contrast with the background of the site does a number on my eyes. Its a good idea don't get me wrong, but my head tends to hurt from just visiting the forums and I don't like that

There has been too much confusion as to who the appropriate moderators are due to the color palette not being set up correctly.
It is correct now and will stay that way.

I like them, reminds me of flowers in a green field.
You can say that, but as soon as the site changes it will be changed again
(it always did)
