Best Answer

Colors are used on maps to differentiate between layers such as rivers, oceans, land, roads, country/state/county boundaries, etc.

A weather overlay on a map has its own color codes (or legend) to represent rain, snow, as well as other severe weather warnings/advisories.

Color, line-style, symbols, transparency, and fill patterns are all techniques used to visually convey multiple pieces of information.
