Basically, when playing/watching a replay, the colour score meter doesn't report Geki hits, only regular 300, Katu hits, 100, 50 and misses.
How to easily reproduce this? Simply play Ascension to Heaven and get Geki/Katu/50 hits or misses on the first few circles. You'll notice the score meter doesn't report Geki hits, but does so for Katu/50 hits as well as misses. The Standard and CtB modes are affected by this.
