Replies field red number means what?

When you see the number of replies to a post you will sometimes see a red number in () - what does that mean?

Example - 20 (2)

Likely noting how many replies are "new" since your last login session.

The color of the text itself may vary for different users, depending on which visual theme they're using.

Wow - if that's the case it is easier than reading to the bottom of the thread to see any new postings.

I just tested the theory - you are correct.
