Welcome to benchmark hunting.

 

We would like to know what map you are using, please. Then we may be able to shed some light on the matter.

I have a feeling you are referring to ScaredyCats Benchmark viewer. If you will scroll down to the bottom of the map page it explains the colors and symbols.

 

Here is the simple gist of it

 

Green- last recovery report was a find in good condition

White- no recovery reports

Red- last recovery report was a did not find/missing or other

Black- mark destroyed

 

The S or A means Scaled or Adjusted

 

EDIT: Here is the FAQ section that also explains it from ScaredyCats Viewer

If you're meaning the Google Earth - I follow the same color coding, save that Yellow means there were no reports. Green and Red signify the same meaning as above.
