What do the colours mean? Blue, green and black. Not the circle but the segment.

Status: offline 		OK. Blue would be morning and green afternoon. I think the black I saw may have been ASW, it was a Hudson group, a type I usually have doing ASW work.

If you're running the beta patch they are listed in the release notes in the sticky in the Tech forum.

063. Fixed Search arcs seem to be generated in reverse sequence. This varies depending on the size and angles of the search sector. Added anti-/clockwise option to search arc on group screen due to confusion when large sectors being assigned
064. Added direction switch on the Search arcs to alleviate searches being in wrong order
065. Tweaked display of search arcs to emulate above change - sectors sharing AM/PM search show as Black (Naval) or White (ASW)

Status: offline 		Information about search arcs are in Interface Addendum.pdf file located in .../WitP AE/Manuals folder. From this pdf:
2.2.1 Naval Search arcs are displayed as a darker blue and darker green. The blue arc is
the morning search area and the afternoon search area is in green.
2.2.2 ASW arcs are half the range of Naval Search arcs and are displayed in light blue and
light green.

If they are working (I'm not using the beta patch, so I don't know), then you might want to use them in locations where you want to concentrate your search patterns on the more likely areas (such as not searching the inland areas of the Australian continent).

Again, per my post, if you're running the beta patch, the Addendum is out of date. Since you asked about black, I assumed you're running the beta patch.
