Hello ,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


We were able to find this:



"Locate it on a map

  1. Open the Find My app.
  2. Choose the Devices or Items tab.
  3. Select the device or item to locate it on the map. If you belong to a Family Sharing group, you can locate the devices in your group.
  4. Choose Directions to open its location in Maps.

If you turn on Find My network, you can locate your device or item even if it's not connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The Find My network is an encrypted anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help you locate your device or item."


More details can be found here: Use the Find My app to locate a missing device or item


If this page doesn't help, can you provide a few more details? When do you see the difference in colors? Which product are you locating? Also, does the color change depending on connection strength or type?


Cheers!
