This color palette is used in traditional boat sonars and is generally considered the best one to use. It allows you to
get the most accurate understanding of underwater object size and bottom hardness.
The way of interpreting colors is quite simple: the intensity of the color equals to how strongly the ultrasound signal
was reflected from the object. Big and hard objects will reflect ultrasound in a stronger manner, so they will be
displayed with more vivid and bright colors. Soft objects like muddy bottom or weeds will be displayed in darker
colors.
Yellow colors - strongest reflection of the signal. You will see it from hard bottom, thick and hard
underwater objects such as boulders, as well as big fishes. Sometimes you can see this color in areas with
very dense vegetation.
Red colors - medium reflection of the signal. You will see if from bottoms of medium hardness, as well as
fishes of medium size. You might also see such colors from very thick weeds.
Blue colors - weak reflection. Small fishes, baitfish and individual bushes of vegetation will appear in blue.
Very soft, muddy bottoms will be seen as layer of blue colors that mix with red or yellow.
Classic color palette
This color palette contains special algorithms that interpret weeds and fishes, and mark weeds with green color
and fishes with yellow. It is easier to understand for beginner users, but considering that the interpretation is done
by an algorithm - inaccuracies can be expected. Other than that, understanding colors of this color mode is very
similar to the Day color palette. The intensity of the color equals to how strongly the ultrasound signal was
reflected from the object. Big and hard objects will reflect ultrasound in a stronger manner, so they will be
displayed with more vivid and bright colors.
White and red colors - strongest reflection of the signal. You will see it from hard bottom, thick and hard
underwater objects such as boulders, as well as really big fishes. Sometimes you can see these colors in
