Cool XM Weather color codes

Trying to figure out the color grids on the weather display . Last night we had a lot of weather around , all thunderstorms and the display was showing a large area of blue and some of pink . They dont match the colors the doppler radar uses so I was wondering what dark blue means since there is no snow around this time of year and theres also pink. Ive seen green ,yellow red , and even purple on doppler when I was a controller but never blue or pink for and kind of precip except snow and ice? Any ideas . I cant find any explanations in the manuals. Either that or Im blind
Aside from that it seems pretty good on alerting for xtreme weather and such but seems to miss precipitation on the screen when I can see around the area.

I'd have to Google it and look the site up but you can do the same. I've been on it and don't remember all the info but all the color and symbol legends are on there.

Did you purchase the weather option or did you get any free trial like the XM & nav?
