I can't seem to find any info on what the text colors mean in the Scene Graph tree *edit Scene Graph Details pane.

There is this but it only seems to show what the Green and Blue colors mean in the SGT. https://github.com/ColinKennedy/USD-Cookbook/tree/master/references/usdview_style_documentation [github.com]

What do the Orange, Pale Red, and Purple mean?

Purple seems to be some sort of intrinsic/non-editable attr?

I'm not sure what Pale Red you're seeing, but the purple may be the dark blue coming from instanceable prims? Orange means the prim has an authored payload; dark orange is an unloaded payload.



That comes from this doc: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/solaris/jumpstart.html#scene-graph-tree [www.sidefx.com]

Does that help?

Sorry -I'm an idiot. I meant the Scene Graph Details pane

I was looking for this exact bit of information. I'm sure you have your answer by now, but I thought I'd share if anyone else tries to google looking for it. From https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/ref/panes/scenegraphdetails.html:
