What do the greyed out constraints in the visual debugger mean?

What does a constraint being greyed out mean? Are those inactive constraints? Or constraints that are applying to the view but not actually a constraint in its constraints array?

The non-greyed constraints in the list of Auto Layout constraints in the size inspector in the Debug View Hierarchy are the ones that are active — being actually used by the runtime.

The greyed out constraints are the inactive ones, superseded by user explicit constraints, having a lower priority — being ignored by the runtime.
