Mob Resistance Icons
Where can I find info on what these icons for mobs mean?

Assumptions:
Red means weak to in this case cold.
White means resistant to?
Yellow means?

TY. Does armor only block physical dmg or do we need to armor break for elemental dmg too?

Oh. I thought it was the opposite. Explains why some fights took longer than I thought. Derp.

Like for a player, armor only blocks physical damage.

I'd like to know for mobs too?

That's what my previous message means. It blocks only physical, whether for a player or a monster.

The video snippet that plays on skills can point out some things like this. One of the witch's spells is an armor break ability and it actually points out what the white armor icon means under an enemy's name. Would't have known about it otherwise. The icons are fairly small as is. Definitely needs better messaging.

I was searching for the same answer and came across this post which answers the same thing. Although one addition thing is that gold color means it is high positive resistance.

Also if you check the description of few items and other stuff they mention that armour only protects from physical damage. To get protection from specific elements you need to get resistance of that specific type. I.e, fire resistance, cold resistance.
In game for now I have seen the max you can have is 75% for each type of resistance but not sure it increase based on level or game progression or we can limit break by equipment. More of this info is visible in character panel.

Hope this helps.

Here is the post link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3591299

TL,DR;
Silver icon means: positive resistance
Gold icon means: high positive resistance(more than 40%)
Red Icon means: negative resistance (I.e.; monster weak to)

Armour only protects from physical dmg
Specific resistance provide protection from specific type of elemental dmg
A maximum resistance is capped at 75% by default and cannot be higher then 90%
