Newly Moved Folder of Files from a SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD Drive to an External SSD Drive Appears a Faded Light Blue, What Does This Mean?

[Sossity]

I recently Bought a Crucial 4 tb SSD, and put it in an external hard drive enclosure. I moved a folder containing some files, from my SanDisk Exterme 2 tb hard portable ssd drive to the Crucial external hard drive. The folder appears a light blue, but there are all the subfolders, and files seem to be there and look normal, but the main folder is light bluer, from the normal mid blue of mac folders.

Is something wrong? and, what can I do about it? I want to copy or move some more files over, but am afraid now something is wrong.

Edit; I forced quit the finder on my mac, and relaunched it, and now the folder appears the standard blue of all my other mac folders. Still, why did this happen?

Depending on macOS version. Might have been an interrupted file copy.

I'd compare the folders with Freefilesync. It'll see if anything is missing.

Ok, it seems like it actually just moved the folder full of files from one drive to another, so there are no files to compare to.

maybe a screen shot will help? Does the folder icon look different if you copy some folder back to the SanDisk Extreme (or simply create a new folder via Finder)?

I actually forced quit finder on my mac, then relaunched it, and then the newly moved folder on the new external hard looked normal again, normal meaning it was the standard macOs blue.
