What color font indicates that a member is inherited when shown in a hierarchy?

In the context of hierarchies within OneStream, the correct answer is that a gray font typically indicates that a member is inherited. This visual cue helps users to quickly identify members that are derived from parent entities rather than being explicitly defined within that particular level of the hierarchy.

Gray font is used to denote inherited members, which means these members take on attributes or values from their parent or root members in the hierarchy structure. This feature simplifies navigation and management within the application by making it clear which entries are locally defined versus those that are inherited and thus potentially share characteristics with their parent categories.

The other color choices do not carry the same meaning as gray in this context. Black usually represents standard, defined members, while blue often indicates a member that may have a special status, such as being active or selected. Orange does not have a standardized meaning regarding inherited members, which reinforces why gray is the definitive choice to identify inheritance in a hierarchy.
