There are a ton of options here and I'm finding it confusing. I find two that seem to say the same thing in their help description but they have a different title:

Text Coloring Based on Diagonal Dominant Side AskVol BidVol Percentage
This Text Coloring uses a Diagonal Percentage Value. The percentage is based on the Ask or Bid volume at price in comparison to the Previous Bid or Next Ask Volume at price. For the Bid: Bid Percentage = Bid Volume at the given price / Ask Volume at the next price. For the Ask: Ask Percentage = Ask Volume at the given price / Bid Volume at the previous price.

Text Coloring Based on Separate Diagonal AskVol BidVol Percentage
This Text Coloring uses a Diagonal Percentage Value. The percentage is based on the Ask or Bid volume at price in comparison to the Previous Bid or Next Ask Volume at price. For the Bid: Bid Percentage = Bid Volume at the given price / Ask Volume at the next price. For the Ask: Ask Percentage = Ask Volume at the given price / Bid Volume at the previous price.

Please help.

The difference between them is what is displayed when a side is dominant or not. In the first case, if both sides are non-dominant, then the text is colored the default. In the second case, the text is always colored depending on the side it is on.

The information on the differences is further down in the Coloring Logic descriptions for those particular options. You will find the information here:
