Understanding the Folder Compare Display  BeyondCompare

The Folder Compare display uses color cues to highlight the differences between the two base folders.  By default, the color meanings are:

		Gray	Unknown or older
		Black	Same
		Purple	Orphan (does not exist on other side)
		Red	Newer or different

Pick View > Legend to display a guide to the various folder icon color combinations.

To change the default colors, pick Tools > Options , switch to the Colors, Fonts > Folder Views page, and find the Compare colors settings.

You can click on a column header to sort by that column, or right-click the header to pick different columns to display.
