Map questions

Hello, I am just wondering what the different colors on the map now represent. I just recently got a hold of a AW and CD maps and they have new color coded squares on them it seems. I checked the rules at the wizkids site, but it didnt explain it. The colors I am refering to is the Red, Brown, and any other on the map. I am used to the Thick lines being blocking terrain and Thin for hindering and I know where the starting locations are. So any help would be awesome.

Icons Rulebook page 23:

Quote

HeroClix has four types of terrain: clear, hindering, blocking, and elevated. Elevated terrain is a special type that modifies other types of terrain. All types of terrain are indicated by boundary lines drawn on the map:

• Squares inside the boundary of a green line are hindering terrain.
• Squares inside the boundary of a blue line are water terrain.
• Squares inside the boundary of a brown line are blocking terrain.
• Squares inside the boundary of a red line are elevated terrain.

Squares inside the boundary of a purple line are a starting area (see “Prepare the Battlefield,” p. 10), and squares inside the boundary of a yellow line are interior spaces on an indoor/outdoor map; these squares are clear terrain unless indicated otherwise. Heavy black lines running along the grid lines of the map are walls. Lines indicating the boundary of a type of terrain are drawn just inside the grid marked on the battle map. If a square has a colored boundary line inside it, the square is the type of terrain indicated by the line. If a line can be drawn from the center of a square into a second square without crossing a boundary line, the second square is the same type of terrain as the first square.

If a square does not fall inside the boundary of a colored line, it is clear terrain. All non-clear terrain is surrounded by a continuous boundary. If a game effect allows for the alteration of terrain, boundary lines are assumed to change so that they always form an uninterrupted boundary.

There is no terrain at soaring level.

It didn't mention Yellow. That's indoors. The new maps are no longer entirely indoors or outdoors, they have both.

Thank you guys. I didnt think to check Icons because I thought the newer colors on maps didnt appear until Armor wars. I need this information cause I am putting a binder together for a quick reference for all rules. thanks again.
