Newbie questions coloring

[TJK735]

In a game on this platform, fleets and armies do in some cases have black and in some cases have white backgrounds. I could not find any source on what that indicates or If it is just random, but it bugs my mind for some ime now that I cant figure out: what determines the background color of the troops?

Do you play on legacy or point and click? On the point and click (troops look like anchors and stars), when you don’t have an order put in, or you have a hold order, the borders of the unit are black.

I play point and click, and in the current phase that is true, for that the held troops have black and the moving and supporting have white, thank you! However, in the past phases, this is not the case, as some troops are Black when they move, and some are white when they hold, and there seems to be an entirely different pattern for that coloring that I cant figure out.

If its either a Build or Retreat phase, all the unaffected armies and fleets have a white backround, and all the built units have a black outline, but retreating units have a red outline and a red lined backround.
