What do the tajweed colours mean?

Each colour marks a rule: dark red necessary prolongation, red obligatory prolongation, orange permissible prolongation, green ikhfa and ghunnah, blue qalqalah, grey silent letters. Open “Tajweed colours” for the guide.

Does the site remember where I stopped?

Is there a tafsir or translation of the meanings?
