What are the different color indications in the Gantt Chart and how do they help in tracking task progress?

In a Gantt Chart, different colors are used to indicate various stages of task progress. The gray color represents the task's execution period from start to end. Light blue shows the duration until completion and updates automatically as days pass. Once the task is completed, the duration bar turns dark blue. Red indicates the period a task extends beyond its original deadline. These color indications help in tracking task progress by providing a visual representation of the task's current status and how far it is from completion.
