Could anyone explain the color codes when doing a diff in SVN, i.e. some lines are marked as red, yellow, blue, etc.

Check the TortoiseSVN Manual: TortoiseMerge | Colour Settings Page.
This is the default color scheme (see it in TortoiseMerge | File | Settings | Colors):
It also makes sense to know the line status icons meaning.

3for high contrast color scheme in windows, one can change the colors to red for removal and green for addition (and gray for others) – Andrei Epure Feb 24 '17 at 10:11

@RayCheng Start **TortoiseMerge** and go to **File | Settings | Colors**. – bahrep May 12 '20 at 12:36
