What do the colours for the tagging mean?

Answer:

The colours are a built-in validation, that indicate inconstancies in how cells have been tagged; there are colour differences for the following data elements:

Movement for the Current period
Movement for Prior period
As at end of the Current period
As at end of the Prior period
Consolidated figures
Separate figures

Please note: If the colours in a column are not consistent (one colour) this may indicate visually that inconsistent tagging was applied. White values is an indication that it is not tagged.

The following is just for demonstration purposes, the colours may vary due to tagging.
