Explanation:
Physical maps use color most dramatically to show changes in elevation. A palette of greens often displays elevations. Dark green usually represents low-lying land, with lighter shades of green used for higher elevations. In the next higher elevations, physical maps often use a palette of light brown to dark brown.

Road maps and other general-use maps are often a jumble of color, with some of the following schemes:
- Blue: lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, reservoirs, highways, and local borders.
- Red: major highways, roads, urban areas, airports, special-interest sites, military sites, place names, buildings, and borders.
- Yellow: built-up or urban areas.
- Green: parks, golf courses, reservations, forest, orchards, and highways.
- Brown: deserts, historical sites, national parks, military reservations or bases, and contour (elevation) lines.
- Black: roads, railroads, highways, bridges, place names, buildings, and borders.
- Purple: highways, and on U.S. Geographical Survey topographic maps, features added to the map since the original survey.
