The colors are explained at the bottom of every status page, see e.g.
http://tinderbox.go-oo.org/chart15/status.html

       Build State Cell Colors
grey: Build interrupted or rejected by the buildslave
violet There have been commits after the build started
white Build in progress - status unavailable
yellow Build in progress - status available
red Build failed
orange Build succeeded but tests failed
green Build and all tests were successful

The only thing it doesn't specify is what "tests" are.. But let me
explain the colors:

grey: The bot knows that it cannot build a master because it is too
broken (like m237), then it refuses to build any cws based on that
milestone and sets the "fold" status that will mark the build with
grey.
This status should be used as well, when there botmaster loses the
connection with the buildslave or similar. Unfortunately this is not
the case yet, the botmaster still sets the failed state (red) in this
case

lila/purple/violet: The old buildresults are no longer valid, since
there were commits to the cws. The new commits might have broken the
build or might have fixed a buildbreaker - so whatever the result of
the last build was, you cannot be sure whether that result will be the
same when you rebuild the cws with the new commits.
(Of course you can still have a look at the old logs if you know what
the new commits are about and decide whether the results could be
affected or not.)

yellow: Build is running - no result available. Some bots will upload
the configure output at this stage, others just send a "I did start a
build" like info.

red: This is the only state where QA/Devs need to take action. This is
the state where a build broke because of a build error.

green: Everything was OK, the cws built without any problem. Note that
the bots don't do any functionaliy testing, this just means that an
installation set could be produced, not that OOo will work as
expected.

orange: The built  completed, but there were problems during the
build. Only the Mac X11 tinderbox uses this state currently.
In this case it means that the build did not complete in one run, that
it had to rebuild one or more modules more than once (most likely
because of regcomp failing). What modules it needed to rebuilt is
annotated in the build info-box on the status page.

HTH,
ciao
