The different colors are recognized to correspond to real differences in the chemical composition of the lunar surface. For example orange and purple colors usually are showing regions relatively poor in Titanium and Iron, where the blue tones show areas that are rich in ilmenite, which contains iron, titanium and oxygen, mainly titanium.
