They're just showing line of sight changes when you move. Yellow is usually good, green is okay, and no arrow means no sight.
It's all about positioning! Yellow arrows mean you can see the enemy and have a flank shot. Green means a standard shot, and no arrows—no sight!
The arrows indicate whether you’ll have a line of sight on enemies from your new position. Green arrows mean you’re good to go!
