I may not know the exact map but here are some of the various colors and their meanings;
Blue -water bodies
Green- vegetation.
Brown - earth and land
pink- international boundaries
Black grey and red represent different constructional features
Generally maps have different types like
Topographical
- Physical
- Climatic
- Road map
- Political, etc…
But the colors that are used to depict certain geographical feature in maps are mostly similar in all type of maps.
Here I have presented the use of colors in maps.
Blues are waters like rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans and seas.
Greens are natural vegetations, wildlife reserves, national parks, and more…
Whites are the lands that have no vegetations.
Browns are the contour lines that display elevation levels.
Reds are highways, major roads, and townships.
Blacks are building, boundaries, and man mad features.
Pinks are urban areas
