After the comparison, there are three colors on the resulting file that highlight the differences. You can also specify the colors yourself to identify the next difference:
- Elements that were inserted in the first file. – blue, by default
- Elements wich were deleted from the first file – red, by default
- Elements that have changed their styles (font, color, etc.) – green, by default
