What's the output of cat /proc/mounts? What are the permission flags on that directory (check with ls -ld some/path/Bussiness)? Please post textual program output and text file content as, well, text instead of as an image. — David Foerster, Dec 17 '15 at 12:45

The green background color indicates, that the directory is writeable by others. You can see it by doing:

mkdir myDir
mkdir openDir
chmod 777 openDir
ls -l

You will see, that openDir has a green background, while myDir is the "normal" color for directories.

For more info, see What do the different colors mean in ls?

It might be color for owner. you can check it by dircolors | grep ow, look for ow marked in red. you can set a different color by adding a line to .bashrc. For example, to make all directories with blue text+underline and no background I added this line: LS_COLORS=$LS_COLORS:'di=4;94:ow=4;94' ; export LS_COLORS
