2. RED highlighted Lot Type means it has been marked inactive.
3. GREEN highlighted Lot Type means it is newly selected as a Lot Type to add to the Sale.
   
4. LIGHT GREEN highlighted Lot Type means it is being used in the currently selected Sale.
   
5. BEIGE highlighted Lot Type means it is a Lot Type used (depending on how it was used) or not used in a Sale before.
