Found my answer: When you enter Time Machine, a timeline appears on the right side of the screen. Each dated tick mark in the timeline is a backup, and each backup has a color when you move the pointer over it. macOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, or Yosemite: A bright red tick mark is a backup that can be restored now, either from a local snapshot or your backup drive. When your backup drive isn't available, only the local snapshots are bright red. A dimmed red tick mark is a backup that can be restored from your backup drive after that drive becomes available. Until then, the stack of windows on the screen shows a blank window for that backup. OS X Mavericks or earlier: A gray tick mark is a backup that can be restored now from a local snapshot. A bright pink tick mark is a backup that can be restored now from your backup drive. A dimmed pink tick mark is a backup that can be restored from your backup drive after that drive becomes available. Until then, the stack of windows on the screen shows a blank window for that backup. So red is good.
