MPLAB X project directory file colors - what do they mean


I'm resurrecting a project from a decade ago. The previous programmer was old school and did everything via the command line. By all accounts his code is very well written. I'd like to move this to MPLABX with support for the processor that we're using PIC18F6628 and PICkit4 debugger. I've added all the files shown in the attached project directory. I get many compile errors and suspect that I'm not including the correct header/source files. I notice the the directory structure shows the file names with different colors and suspect that this is trying to tell me something. Can anyone tell me what the different colored files mean?

Thank you for your help

MPLAB X - Current View

I've tried to add the source and header files back in one at a time. I've checked the directory location of the referenced files. It's not clear to me what the problems is here.
