Emacs Helm (anything) colors for autocompletion

In helm-mode in Emacs, whenever helm tries to autocomplete what I am typing (e.g. with C-x C-f for Find file) I see that the options for autocompletion (files in this case) are colored differently (some in green, some with white background) etc.

What do these colors mean? How do I look them up?

You can find out more about the helm faces just like any other Emacs buffer.

Put the point into the completion buffer by using the mouse of C-x o.

Then C-u C-x =. The faces at point will be shown. Their names should make it obvious what they mean, and you can follow the bread crumb to customize them.
