FN is a function key and it's position really depends on the make of the keyboard. On my keyboard it's blue; therefore, any blue above a normal keyboard key will represent what will have if I press that key while holding down FN. This is generally used for things like controlling volume, using a NumPad on a smaller laptop, or launching a program (if the keyboard is fancy enough).
