Yep, solid gray circle means an independent colony.
Dashed/broken gray circle means that there is a potential planet that your empire can colonize. The two circles are often related.

I greatly recommend playing through the two tutorial; and browsing the Galactopedia.

I was happy to help also, despite only having a 50/50 shot of knowing which brown circle you meant.
