req 7, req 8, etc. are the requirement for that weapon.
When you look at a weapon, it tells you how many attribute points you must have in that attribute line in order to use the weapon to it's full potential.
Example: A sword that says "Requires 9 Swordsmanship" will require you to have 9 points in the swordsmanship attribute in order for you to deal the full amount of damage listed on that sword.
q7, q8, etc. mean the same thing, its just a shorter way to write it.

To add to what RedDog91 said, all max damage greens require 9 os whatever attribute the weapon is tuned to. Any max damage weapon that requires 9 is considered by ANet to be perfect if all other modifiers for that weapon are also perfect.
For example: a shield that requires 9 Strength and has a modifier of +27 Health would not be a perfect shield, but add a +30 Health shield handle to it and it becomes perfect.
The text color reflects it's relative value to the merchant, it does not reflect it's real value. Almost everyone wants a gold weapon, however purple weapons can be just as good and save you a lot of money.
