Meanings of the different colors of orbits/trajectories

[cy-one]

Heya,

I looked in the wiki, but wasn't able to find an answer.

What do the different colors like yellow, blue, purple, etc mean? I mean the colors the orbits and trajectories can have.

Cheers, cy.

Blue is your current orbit.

Yellow is the target orbit.

For the other, I don't think there is meaning, it just change when there is a change of SOI.

The colors just denote which "step" in the orbit you're on. Blue is your current course; each different-colored segment after that is what your orbit will look like if something alters it, either a plotted maneuver or a change between Spheres of Influence (like between Kerbin and the Mun). Solid lines show what your orbit will look like if you just let the craft coast; dotted lines show how a plotted maneuver at a maneuver node will change your orbit once you've finished the burn.

Thank you guys
