The documentation says:

? ??colors
colors (default ""):
...
   The  output objects thus affected are respectively error messages,  history numbers,  prompt,
input line, output, help messages, timer (that's seven of them). If k < 7, the remaining a_i are
assumed to be no. For instance
...

So the answer to your question is:

field 1: error messages
field 2: history numbers (%n =)
field 3: prompt
field 4: input line
field 5: output
field 6: help messages
field 7: timer (*** last result computed in ...)

Cheers,
Bill.
