Understanding Comparison Results

The comparison results use a color-coding system to highlight different types of changes between formulas:
  • Red: Parts that are not present in all formulas.
  • Orange: Same material used in multiple formulas but with different quantities.
  • Yellow: Same parts but in different order within the formula sequence.
  • Grey: Processing instructions and messages.
  • White: Identical materials with the same quantities.
