Red Phonetic Means that the person is not talking.
Yellow Phonetic Means The Person is Talking but you cannot hear it because or its muted or its in another channel talking.
Green Phonetic Means the person is talking and you can clearly hear it Unless his microfone is muted and the green symbol still shows and you can't hear anything.
Light Blue + or - (Plus or Minus doesn't mean Anything important so dont worry about it) Means the Channel is free to enter and is not private or protected with a password
Red + or - Means the channel is private and has a password protecting it.
