Starting in the centre of the image, a small cluster of yellow/green can be seen. Moving out

Question:

Starting in the centre of the image, a small cluster of yellow/green can be seen. Moving out from there, most of the floor of the crater is red, with blue dominating in the terraces and beyond the rim, and more yellow in the bottom part of the image. In this case, blue is probably relatively fresh ejecta, or fresh material exposed in the terraces.

Bright red is associated with deposits of impact melt in the floor of the crater, and the yellow/green tones in the middle may be iron-rich rocks brought up from depth during the formation of the central peaks.
