What do the FireBug DOM colors mean?

Question

I'm confused with these colors. I noticed there are 4 colors showing in the left hand column of FireBug DOM tree:

1. Bold black
2. Black
3. Bold green
4. Green

In the right hand column:

1. Blue
2. Red
3. Bold green
4. Green
5. Multiple color elements representing object structures.

What do this colors represent? And why, e.g, I can access window.document.URL and I can't access window.document.body in Console even though they are both in the "not-bold black" category in the DOM tree?

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

Here is the correct answer.

Bold Black                   Objects
Black                        DOM objects
get in gray                  "Getter" functions
Bold green                   User functions
Green                        DOM functions
Bold Red                     Constructor functions

Answer 2

From http://getfirebug.com/dom.html

Objects are color coded so that HTML elements, numbers, strings, functions, arrays, objects, and nulls are all easy to distinguish.

But I can't be bothered to lookup which color represents what. With this info I bet you can make that out yourself

Answer 3

After digging into it a little further I got the answer:

In the left column:

Black are properties and green are methods. Bold means the member was declared "by the user" meaning the members aren't from the default javascript/DOM framework.

In the right column:

Numbers are blue, strings are red. Objects appear as a "instance preview" in which the type name and the member names are green and the member values are gray
