From
here: 'If there is something wrong with your system you may see the following colours.
* Red: An error was found in the ROM.
* Green: An error was found in Chip ram.
* Blue: An error was found in the custom chips.
* Yellow: The CPU has found an error before the error trapping software (Guru) has been activated.
These problems could be caused by a number of things such as a loose chip or board. The red screen may be caused by a loose Kickstart chip that can be fixed by pressing down on the ROM to check it is fitted correctly. Another cause could be a connection problems between the chip and socket that can be solved by straightening an bent pins. Alternatively, the green screen could be caused by a loose memory board, SIMM, or a loose RAM chip on the memory board. If reattaching these chips do not solve the problem, try them on another Amiga.'
