There are two kinds of colours that appear in each torrent entry in Nyaa’s listings:

  • One for the rectangle in the “Category” column. I see many different colours there: purple, red, dark and light grey, green, orange, dark and light yellow…

  • One for the whole row. Here I’ve only seen three different colours so far: white, green, red.

Do these colours, especially the second, mean anything?

Nyaa’s Help page mentions the meaning of four “torrent colours”: green, red, orange, grey. But they don’t say where these colours appear. If they mean the row colour, then I’ve never seen an orange or grey one. So I’m very confused. Maybe the Help page is outdated?

OK, not a life-or-death matter, but I’ve been curious about this for a long time…

    the first color represents the type of media:

    Anime

    Purple: sub

    Gray: raw

    Lime green: non-eng translated

    Manga

    Teal: eng translated

    Dark orange: non eng

    Dark green: raw

    Audio

    Gold: Lossless

    Bright red: lossy

    and so on, take a look near the search function at the media type

    the background represents the trust of the uploader.

    Green -> trusted

    Gray -> neutral

    Red -> bad quality / uploads

      Thank you, I read that, as I mention in the post, but the colours they list in the help section don’t match the ones I see (as background colour to the whole row): never seen orange or grey, and I see white instead.
