What do the different colors of my branches is gitHub mean?

In GitHub, I see different colors for my branches, when I go to: [Insights] - [Networks]. Some are in blue, others in green. I cannot find an explanation.

enter image description here

Does anyone know what the different colors mean? Are there other flavors? Like red, orange, purple...

It's called merge commit.

If you are only one using it, I think it happens after you edit something directly on github and commit it (let's say you are using master branch). And then locally, do git pull which merges changes from github's master to your's master. And when you push changes using git push, github represents it as merge commit.

EDIT:

What I mean by merge commit, you can click on the black dot:

And it will open commit with files changed and such, but on right, you can read:
