Execution Trace Toolkit thread coloring?!?

I am trying to discern thread priorities inside execution trace toolkit by looking at coloring.
 
The documentation lists the following colors:
Time Critical - Red
High - Dark Pink
Above Normal - Light Pink
Normal - White
Background - Blue
Subroutine - Black
 
When I run it, I see some other color/textures.  There seems to be an orange color (undocumented) and a crosshatched dark pink (also undocumented).
 
What if anything are these other colors trying to tell me?
 
Also, a suggestion for future versions - make the colors easy to differentiate.  Red, Orange, and two shades of pink make you go crosseyed.
 
Also, white seems to be used for interrupt priority - I saw it preempting a dark pink for an ETS interrupt "thread", which if the coloring were true, it shouldn't do.
 
Thanks in advance for any info beyond the documentation.

Hi Belzar,

I am not sure I have seen the colors that you are describing, and I have not found any documentation on these colors.  Could you please attach a screen shot that shows the colors you have described?  I may be better able to research the issue with an image of the issue you are seeing.  At the very least, it'll give me the ability to ask around and see if anyone else has see these colors and know what they mean.

I hope to hear from you soon.  Best of luck on your application, and have a great day!!
