In /usr/bin/emerge you can see that red, green, and blue are the only
possibilities:
now_use=self.applied_useflags[x[2]]
for ebuild_iuse in portage_util.unique_array(iuse_split):
usechange=""
if old_use:
if (old_use.count(ebuild_iuse) and not
now_use.count(ebuild_iuse)) or (not old_use.count(ebuild_iuse) and
now_use.count(ebuild_iuse)):
usechange="*"
if ebuild_iuse in self.applied_useflags[x[2]]:
if usechange == "*":
iuse=green("+"+ebuild_iuse)
else:
iuse=red("+"+ebuild_iuse)
elif ebuild_iuse in portage.settings.usemask:
iuse=blue("(-"+ebuild_iuse+")")
else:
iuse=blue("-"+ebuild_iuse)
verboseadd+=iuse+usechange+" "
