The general scheme used for the color coded altimetry
maps essentially follows a spectral color scheme.

From highest to lowest altitude levels:

Altimetry Range = -9 km to +10 km

White = Highest altitude of all
Pink = Higher altitude
Red = High altitude
Orange
Yellow
Green = Mean level
Cyan
Blue = Low altitude
Magenta = Lower altitude
Purple = Lowest altitude of All

This scheme makes it easier to visualize the highs and lows of the lunar
surface by simply looking at the colors.

The red, pink to white areas are the highest altitudes on the lunar surface
and the blue to purple areas are the lowest altitudes on the lunar surface.
