The Color Box widget is used to represent the associated tag as a box that changes color based on the tag's value. It is primarily used with that have discrete states such as digitals and alarms, but may also be used with analogs. For an analog tag, the value will be rounded to find the closest match to one of the states.
"2 state" versus "4 state". Not all tags will have all the states shown in these examples. Alarms have only state 0 and state 1 and therefore must use the "2 state" version of this widget.
Digitals might only use two states, but they can have four and therefore must use the "4 state" version of the widget.
